And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
its okay, but I like my old school West German made one in blued steel and walnut a lot more. I do have a Sig 230 in stainless steel with black grips though.
I have a P3AT (.380), and while it's not fun to shoot, you are overestimating the pain this (far nicer and better engineered than mine) gun would cause.
John is correct, the 32 is probably nice to shoot, but the 380 sucks out loud. The 22lr is a dream. As a younger man, immune to recoil, I got one. One box of ammo convinced me it needed a new home. It bites the web of yer hand way worse than a Govt. 1911 or 1911a1 and it kicks way above it's weight.
Sweet piece, was a fool to trade it in, had the .380, so easy to conceal, a natural pointer. Blew me away how they increased in price when getting a replacement. My old lady carries it, suits her well. Its a great weapon for when your dressed up like in a suit or tux, perfect really. And there's a mess of new lethal rounds in .380 these days. It'l never be a powerful round, but its way better than no gun any day, its gonna slow some assailant down at the least, so easy on he recoil no prob putting two or three bullets in somebody.
I have one of those in 7.65mm with a Luftwaffe cartouche on the other side. My uncle gave it to me 30+ years ago. He was in Patton's 3rd Army and mailed back 8 pistols among other things. The pistol is a safe queen.
Perfect.

ReplyDeleteFive or six rounds fired from that peashooter and your hand and wrist are aching for a week.

rumor has it that slide will slice up the web of your hand, if you have hands like hams. I won't be testing that theory.

Deletemine in .22, "Made in W. Germany"

ReplyDeleteWhite grips on stainless frame is very attractive. The example above is evidence of that. Thank you for the photo CW.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention - I've never seen a stainless magazine floor plate before.
