Thing is, is the Luger and P38 don't have the same timelessness about them that the M1911 has. The Luger and P38 immortalized the 9mm Luger round sure, but not only did the M1911 also immortalize the .45 ACP round, but it also immortalized the entire silhouette of the pistol as well, and its features have kept it in service for more than 100 years, and will be in service for 100 years more, unlike the P38 and Luger who have been supplanted in almost every way by M9's and Glocks and similar 9mm pistols.
