The pistol was all stainless steel and was in 9 mm and sold as the American Eagle Luger with 4" and 6" barrels. Stoeger has owned the name "Luger" in the United States market since around 1924. Some shares of Vursan Silah Sanayi A.Ş., which was established in Turkey in 1989, were purchased by Beretta in 2000, forming a Turkish-Italian partnership.

The gun was designed by Gary Willhelm and manufactured from 1969-1985.
