.45 ACP Luger sold for $494K
Michael Bane reports.
$500,000 for a Luger?! And I thought there was a recession on. The only way I’d shell out that kind of dough for a Luger is if it belonged to Hitler…and he used it to shoot George Reeves…and there was a picture of Hitler shooting George Reeves that came with it.

0But the real question is, does the new owner have the guts to take it out to the range
Can’t wait for the look of the guy next to me when I ask “can I borrow some 45s for my Luger?”

0I’m amazed that it went for so little. Its value used to be estimated at $1 million. The hardcore Luger collectors must be dying off, or they were hit hard by the economy. At one time, “Guns & Ammo” used to have a dedicated column for Luger collectors.

0That .45ACP Luger Carbine is the only one on the planet. Sorry to hijack the topic. All .45ACP Lugers are sweet and have a cool history. Heck, any Luger is sweet and has a cool history!

0God I love the history of the thing. Knowing there was only ever 3 or what 4 .45ACP lugers ever made makes it one of the rarest guns in the world.
