2 Lugers were made in 45 ACP for evaluation by the U.S. military. Serial numbers 1 and 2. It is thought that serial number 1 was completely destroyed in the tests making serial number 2 the only Luger in a cartridge other than 9mm.

Ruger Redhawk

Yup, it was the 45 ACP. About 10-15 years ago either Shooting Times or Guns & Ammo did a article on it. The cover read something like ...Shooting a Million Dollar Luger, if memory serves me right they did fire the gun for the piece.
