Does Anyone Know If Mike Krause Is Still Producing His 45

drbuster · 09-15-2012, 10:57 PM

I had lunch with Mike Krause today. It is my understanding that he has about 2-3 more unfinished or partially finished .45 luger frames and can assemble them BUT it will cost at least $20K for one now. At least one local small manufacturer was interested in buying the blueprints but apparently had second thoughts when they realized how much labor they require. It is really a dying art. Those out there who already own one of his .45 lugers know they are the best and are cherished.
