Houston guns made a splash for several years, but even reverse engineering a gun takes a lot of resources. Without a customer base to meet price points on a scale large enough to make a profit, they also faded away for this same reason. Our buddy Eugene Golubstov has invested immense time and effort to make his facsimilie of the .45 1907 Luger, and what he charges is more than fair for what he's produced. We should note that after an initial rush to order them, I think enough to justify a couple or runs of 50, Lugers in the original variation he made are on sale for about 20% off ~ $4k. Even with cheap foreign labor, I suspect any manufacture of new Lugers of any sort, of any quality, simply isn't particularly attractive to industry for, again, the same reasons of high cost to develop and make, and insufficient customer base.

While certainly not as intricate as the Luger, Tisas is able to make an excellent 1911 and the importer can make a profit at $400 or less. I would think that a Luger could be made and sold for under $1,000. |

If the company produces an exact reproduction of the P08 and LP08 Luger, why would they not be available as Curio and Relic firearms?
They should qualify. Can anyone actually confirm that this is the Turkish company "Tisas" or is it possibly some other company?

Any new made firearm, other than muzzle loaders are not eligible for C and R status until they are at least 50 years old. It's just the way it is.

The LKCI website still only offers shotguns as being available
So no progress on the Luger f/s |
