That’s pretty cool, Gunny. What indicates it’s Yugo provenance? God knows there was no lack of Italian commie partisans in the later years of the war.

Do light sabers count? probably not...

I didn't know Smith & Wesson made light sabers.

The red star carved in the stock was a common marking with the Tito partisans.

The pistol that some people mistake for a Walther, even the prop people in the movie "Taxi Driver"......

The Astra .380 ACP Constable. I wish I could find another magazine for it.

It was also one of the pistols in "Goodfellas".

Geologist - if I may ask, how old is your Constable? I'm interested as I have one that I have had since the mid-70s.
I was able to find a spare magazine at a local gun show sometime in the 80s but I have had to "tweak" the feed lips on both magazines due to some feeding problems. This may also be due to using "mixed ammo" with different angles on the bullets. Some are FMJ-FP, FMJ-RN, JHP, SJHP, and SJFPs. The best feeders were (naturally) the FMJ-RN, probably because of the full, rounded tip and curved sides. The 2 HP types were a shorter bullet due to the lack of the rounded tip while the 2 FPs had the missing tip and flat sides, not curved.

Out at the farm last year trying out the new MagPul Zhukov furniture I put on my Bulgarian AK



2" Kimber K6s 357 its a handful with full house 357 loads ... not bad with 38's.


Kimber K6s 357 Engraved Combat, don't even have a holster for it yet ... but it shoots as good as it looks!

 

[kimberkid]

Do you think 90 rounds is enough? Because I feel like I need at least 60 more.

With 60 on the other side it would help balance it out!

Have you tried a 100 round Beta-mag?
I have a couple Beta-Mags and these are very old pictures, they also fit my SiG 556 SBR & CZ Bren 805 SBR but for some reason I don't have pictures of them ... and I've found different towers on GunBroker so I have one on my HK53(clone) or my AUG, but to be honest, they are a little on the heavy side so unless I'm stationary ... picking off Prairie Dogs they really don't get a whole lot of use ... but for those time's when I do get them out, they're a lot of fun without having to switch mags.

I'm not sure, I bought it used in the last 10 years.

Usually there will be a one or two letter date code under the left grip panel. Most often they will be within a circle.

 

[geologist]

Under the left grip there are these roll marks stamped into side of the backstrap.

On the right side of he slide it's stamped Garcia Sporting Arms Washington D.C.

The red star carved in the stock was a common marking with the Tito partisans.

I’m now reading a book called The Forgotten 500, it’s about rescuing downed airmen from the mountains of Yugoslavia during WWII.

Lots of commie sympathy in British and American oss personnel back then, they worked to undermine initial support for the anti communist /anti Nazi Mihailovic. These oss folks basically handed Yugoslavia to communist Tito.

Lots of weaponry was used in that conflict, especially captured German /Axis arms. That Carcano is a cool relic of a small part of the whole global struggle before, during and after WWII.

Stay safe.
