From the Vault: John Martz Custom .45 ACP Navy Luger
This video showcases two custom Luger pistols chambered in .45 ACP, created by renowned pistolsmith John Martz in the 1970s and 80s. Starting from standard 9mm Lugers, Martz modified them to accommodate the significantly larger .45 ACP cartridge, resulting in visibly larger pistols. The video features Keith Ford and Steve Ostrem from Rock Island Auctions explaining the intricate process and highlighting a "Baby" Luger and a custom German Navy Luger with a 6-inch barrel, distinguishing it from the standard P08 model.
