.45 Cal. Luger No. 1...

Why two grip angles, one might ask? I have had Mike Krause talk to me about this issue many times. He, who has made several .45 Lugers, and is renown for this, says the earlier grip angle gave the gun a slightly awkward feel and made it instinctively point off target. Changing the angle corrected this. The former, he calls the "old model" the latter, the "new model". He is convinced that George Luger had big plans for the .45 Luger in the American commercial market but were permanently shelved by the outbreak of WW1.
