Am I the only one who's thought of a Polymer 1911? Maybe it's a "sin" to even mention such a thing, but I found myself wondering why someone hasn't made one by now. What might the drawback('s) be?

I would much rather have a Ruger Luger. If Ruger could make one for a reasonable price, then I bet they would sell a bunch of them. The 1911 market is saturated now. The Luger Market is not.
People are now paying $600+ for shooter grade lugers, with mismatched parts.
I would think that if Ruger could sell one new for $600-$700, they would do very well.

I don't think anyone, including Ruger, could make an authentic Luger copy to sell for anywhere near that much. The Luger was an extremely intricate design requiring a lot of complex machining and careful fitting. Even using CNC machines the construction and fitting time would be prohibitive.Leucoandro":agvt00d5 said:I would much rather have a Ruger Luger.

Even the Germans gave up on it after a few years when the much simpler P38 replaced it.
Leucoandro":8zq7v1vb said:A small company in Texas (I think Houston), that I believe is called Aimco makes a stainless Luger (as far as I can tell they still make it today). It sells for $700 to $800. I am sure if a small company can make and sell the Luger for this price, then Ruger should as well....Maybe not though.

It would be nead if they made a 9mm MRK IV

I would settle for a "luger-ish" pistol, especially if chambered in .357SIG.
