Another .45 Caliber Luger Mystery

Captain Monty Mendenhall · 06-22-2004, 08:09 AM

Hello Everyone. This is my first post here and I am amazed by the expertise that I have observed from you RKIs.

Most of the information that I konw to be correct about my .45acp Luger has already been posted.

I was reluctant to fire it but I did fire five rounds. There were two failures to eject (might have been the steel case Wolf ammo. I don't intend to fire it again. Below are some weight comparisons between the mystery Luger, a standard 9mm Luger and a Shansei Arsenal .45acp clone of an 1896 Mauser.

1896 7.63mm Mauser 39.8 oz / 1.128 kg
Shansei .45acp Mauser Clone 56.6 oz / 1.61 kg
Luger 9mm 30 oz / 0.856 kg
Luger .45acp 32 oz / 0.910 kg
