This video explores the history and specifications of the Powell's Cartridge Counter Luger, a unique variant of the Luger pistol. It details the US Army's initial trials with the 7.65mm Luger, their dissatisfaction with the caliber, and Georg Luger's subsequent development of the 9mm version. The description highlights a specific deal where 50 US 7.65mm pistols were swapped for 50 new 9mm models, which were required to be fitted with Graham Powell's innovative cartridge counter grip system. The video also touches upon the US Army's eventual preference for a .45 caliber pistol following the Thompson-La Garde tests and Luger's later attempts to interest the US with a duplex load and a .45 ACP redesign.
