Hey all,
Been pondering on this a bit. The somewhat recently released 7.5 FK brno field pistol seems to fit a niche in the market that few other auto loaders address, but what do you consider a field pistol / what does that mean to you?
My interpretation of the name and idea behind a field pistol is an auto loading pistol in a relatively powerful chambering, that has a flatter trajectory and higher capacity than most. But can still be carried easily and is of a robust design that can survive the rigors of actual use in harsh conditions.
Is this correct?
If this is the case the idea is not new but it seems that its an area of the market only populated by very few guns. Obviously the 7.5 FK- which i consider completely unrealistic as far as the cost of the firearm, scarcity of ammo/loading components and magazines. The only other guns that come to mind are the the couple of double stack 10mms available. While i realize the 7.5 cartridge is faster, flatter shooting and carries greater muzzle energy im really not sold on smaller diameter projectiles at high velocity as being more effective (in pistol calibers).
So what qualifies as a "field pistol" to you / what does that really mean? What gun if any fills this role for you?
