Martz .45 Mag Capacity?

Dwight Gruber · 05-17-2003, 01:47 AM

I have been told that the John Martz .45 Luger magazine only holds three rounds. Can anyone verify or refute this?

I don't know Dwight, but I was under the impression it was a 7 shot?

Here is a picture of a Martz 45 magazine from the member gallery:

Also, Tom Heller commented this on an earlier thread:

The Martz 45 holds 5 rounds (#5 is very tight).
