Great choice, a unique classic. You can pick up the FEG and CZ next time. Looking forward to the range report.

PS Maybe a little off topic, but for Redcoat, I've got a Beretta Model 70 .in .32, too.......what a beauty, and a good shooter, too. It got me a little hooked on the Model 70s in general. I finally snagged a Model 70S in .22 in December for target practice with the daughter on the cheap (well...

The FN 1922 would be a nice addition to your collection, and being a JMB design, they always run (unless broken or worn out, or the mag is bad). A lot of history with those pieces. Apparently every fourth G.I., Sailor, or Airman in the E.T.O. brought one of these back, too, in their seabags...

How is the Trigger Pull compared to Maks? Question for Mr. Nyst - and based on the target I think I know the answer - how do you find the trigger pull on the Wanad vs. Makarovs? I am a big fan of Maks, have had 3 since 1993.....all were stone reliable and accurate out of the box. Not as...

Good, solid pistol, but mine did not like U.S. .32 at all......in fact you couldn't load a full mag. I recall discussion on some of the boards, when these first came in 10 years ago, that there is a slight dimensional difference between Euro 7.65 and our .32. I don't recall whether it was the...

Thanks! Hello, All, Thanks for the advice. I will limit the stock restoration to BLO applied with a soft toothbrush, that ought to do. I will post pics of the completed project. One interesting thing - the bullets both with my friends .45 and the other one discovered in 1983 were both...

And when you have been assimilated http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/ When you have been fully assimilated into the BHP Cult, you will find this site, written by the late and much missed, Stephen A. Camp, the Mother Lode. In many ways the only pistol you'll only really need. If you...

Go buy it tomorrow Strongly suggest you go buy it tomorrow. You won't regret it. There is a reason why the Browning Hi-Power has a cult following. With the current, continuing run on guns generally, new ones are hard to find. The price is not out of line for a new BHP.

thanks Hello, Rapid Wombat, First, thanks for the kind words. It has been a true joy to shoot and work on these pistols, with their extremely brave, verified heritage. By the way, my friends Father was such a leader that there is also a large silver loving cup dated 1919, given to him by...

Hello, All, I have had the great privilege of helping an 82 year old friend rediscover and enjoy his Father's Colt Model 1911 .45, and a captured DWM 1916 9mm Luger. They had both been stored for at least 40 years. Fortunately had been put away by Dad in oil soaked socks prior sometime...

mljdeckard, Here is a thread from a few days ago that's related, inhttp://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=685802 this same forum : There are a lot of good comments from various members. You should also check out the links posted in my comment 11 there. It has some links to some...

PS I have not evaluated the "tuckable" inside the waistband holsters out there at all. That may help you here. I leave to others who have experience with those - and wear them all day long - to comment.

IO, If your shirts are always tucked in and you don't typically wear pleated suit trousers, then you may be better served by the Bersa CC model. It is just slightly smaller than the Mak, and was specifically designed for CC. One of those with an Uncle Mike's (or DeSantis, or Remora) pocket...

http://media.browning.com/pdf/om/hipowermanual.pdf Presuming the Hi Power is in good mechanical condition, there are four ways to carry the Hi Power loaded (in no specific order of preference): 1. Loaded magazine in, chamber empty. Advantage: perfectly safe. Disadvantage: requires...

PS Drop Safety - I think all the Makarov and all the other 9 X 18mm pistols are well thought out and drop safe. Someone posted somewhere that "if you dropped a Makarov from 30,000 ft. onto concrete and it hit directly on the muzzle, it might fire". The Makarov, CZ-82, PA-63, P-64, and their...
