I agree there is not a viable market as that term is generally understood, but I think Mundy928 is actually addressing that fact as he describes his idea in post #1.

Given the advances in 3D printing alone that we have recently seen, coupled with continued improvements in CNC processes, design software and so on, I would almost bet that in a few years some sort of a co-op of interested Luger enthusiasts can form and get some pistols made. I've been involved in a variety of mechanical hobbies over the years and it's often amazing what talented people can create when they do it for enthusiasm for the subject, and not just for money. However IMO the technology is just not there yet to do it at an attractive price.
