Love this thread. Picking up a Type 94 from a large batch of Japanese pistols in two weeks when I head back home for a bit. Looking forward to it and will share pictures when I lay my hands on it.

Got me another one (personally, I'd be buying old guns all day everyday: you get the classics for cheap and they are what I grew up looking at). One I don't see often in these threads (why?): A Colt Official Police.
Love the thing. Similar to its S&W Counterpart of those days (Model 10 and the likes) but Colt. In 38sp. Colt Official Police by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

Nice! I find them ugly (the Official, etc). Hence nice. Vintage ugly ends up being nice a few years later.

I've already posted this picture on another thread, but I think it serves well in this one, too.

Is that a 4" bbl on the bottom one? Yep. Actually slightly less, it being 3 and 5/8 inches. I really wanted Indiana Jones handgun (that did have a 4 inch barrel) and this one came up on gunbroker. |

The 64 with 4" tapered barrel is a relatively scarce weapon -- Smith didn't make them very long before going to the heavy barrel in that model, just a relatively few years.

Mi vergogno a volte di essere italiano (non americano) a causa dell'immagine (pur giusta) che l'Italia ha all'estero. Ovunque. Che tu lo sappia (o piú facilmente, non), non é una buona immagine. E non dovrebbe sorprenderti: sai benissimo come vadano (e siano sempre andate) le cose in Italia. Anche voi italiani non siete e non siete mai stati un vero popolo unito. Nemmeno nei momenti di difficoltà. Questo ti spiegherá la prima domanda. Non offendo il 'vostro' paese (nel quale ho abitato per trent'anni, conoscendolo dunque a fondo), dico semplicemente la veritá. Una veritá che avete scientemente evitato per decenni e la cui negazione vi ha portato al baratro (baratro!) nel quale vi trovate. Frega nulla che vi piaccia o meno il fatto ch'io mi dichiari non italiano. Problema tuo.

Among these is a Test Eagle from the 1900 test trials to select a new auto loading pistol for the U.S. Army. It was delivered in October of 1900.

Nice collection. That 1902 Colt (top center) with the stock hooked to the extended magazine is as rare as the Eagle! Is that a 712 Schnellfeuer????? (Top left). Sweet collection.. IThis is my second Inglis with a stock. I also had a 1930 Commercial C-96 with a holster stock, and a Luger with a plank stock back in the 80s.

View Quote The one you refer to with the stock is a 1907 Husqvarna. There is a 1902 Colt in there, but it is on top on the right next to a 1917 Colt M1911. There are sidearms from the U.S., Italy, Japan, Germany, Poland, Canada, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, China, and one or two others. |

Remington Rand 1911A1 & a 4” S&W Model 10 that dates to 1968 are my side arms for retro builds. Apparently, .38 Spl was popular with tunnel rats due to perceived less noise….I don’t know that would be true in a tunnel, but that’s my sides.

My main retro handgun I use regularly (for CAS Wild Bunch matches) is 1 Rock Island 1911A1. It is nicely parkerized already.. I added a Colt wide spur mil-spec hammer and arched mainspring housing, and a pair of WW2 USGI brown bakelite grips. It shoots better than I do!

Three out of the four are early 90s production. The 1911 is from '84. |

It was a hot product but and an in my opinion, an example of successful marketing versus real diligence in testing.
This was prior to the internet and common use of ballistics gel, people relied on what sounded like a idea rather than real test data. I believe the Idea was good in concept but poor in performance (where penetration is required ) Great if you want the ultimate flesh expansion on the surface - impressive when shooting water jugs, etc. but poor in penetration to vitals. I think there is an FBI report indicating that Magsafe /Glaser ammo was indeed lethal but one would likely die from wounds days later from infection rather than immediate damage to critical organs. While no gunshot would is good, this wasn't exactly the wonder round it was proposed to be. If there was guntubers with gel tests the fad would have ended quickly.
