Luger weapons came close to being adopted by the United States military on at least two separate occasions. The Army pistol trials of the .45 ACP Luger are well known, but Luger also submitted a rifle (Model 1893/1894) to the 1894 Navy rifle trials that was so well received it seems to have been the initial favorite over the M1895 Lee Navy that went on to see adoption. Notably, Luger did well despite his weapons often failing to meet government specifications in one way or another, although it was usually an improvement over the original specification as a result of things such as using a rimless 6 mm round in the Navy rifle trials and faster burning European powder in the Army pistol trials. Might it have been possible for Luger to have seen both a rifle and a pistol adopted by the United States military?
