There use to be a custom gun maker named John Martz who made all sorts of Luger variations.

Yes! I wasn’t really wanting a 30 carb. Just was trying think of something about that length. 35 is my favorite caliber so why not a rimless .357 maximum?44 auto mag? 30 carbine? Why not a 357 auto mag of sorts for it since we're on the full custom scope of things? Then it could easily be double stack and still pack a pretty good punch over the 30 carb. Just a little food for thought.

I want this to be a real pistol. (It’s an air soft based on a Mauser). I love the look of it... single action trigger. Mmmmmm
I’d elongate the magwell a bit since there’s no need to limit the cartridge size to what would fit inside the grip... maybe chamber it in .30 carbine, 44 automag,or some such intermediate round. (Edit: chambered in a rimless .357 magnum)
Oh yeah.. and it would be built by korth or wilson combat and given to me at no cost

Chances of me owning one at some point: Likely
Used to shoot often with someone whose dad owned one and would bring it to the range regularly. It's not practical by any measure, but it's probably the most fun you can have on the range without an SOT. Accurate, surprisingly tame recoil, and a four-foot-long basketball-diameter fireball every time you pull the trigger

Edit: no, maximum would be too much... stick with 357 mag rimless or maybe a 357 bore 9x25 Dillon. .357/10mm magnum?
Actually just about any Mateba gun could go here; they're all ridiculous and cool,
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'm inordinately drawn to novel solutions to engineering problems, so oddball stuff like that makes up almost the entirety of my "non-user" collection and wishlist.I get the ridiculous part; the "cool" part leaves me cold.
I don't know when you got it but I do recall when they came out and even looking back with 2020 vision (pun intended) I remember them being astoundingly expensive back then. Regardless how little it seems now.
I remember being in Walmart in Leesville LA, in 1985 and they had a gun counter there. The P7M8 was selling for 50 dollars more than the Beretta 92 and he tried to talk me into getting the Beretta.
The Pardini GT was originally designed around the .45ACP so probably it shines even more shooting that cartridge.I keep looking at those in 45 for bullseye shooting.....
