Just got my license renewed and now I am looking for something that is not Mil-surp.
Not really interested in a Winchester either but I want something else. Anybody got any ideas? |

Browning Auto 5/Remington Model 11? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7sk89TDLru8/UVZnVUXnrKI/AAAAAAAACos/olZFi5Zt8rc/s1600/browning_a5_early-2.jpg (I especially like the looks of the South African/Rhodesian police model, with the extended magazine and full-length forearm.) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ItD-8HZPPgo/UVZpflwf8CI/AAAAAAAACpM/Kizrm_ejk9k/s1600/3862019.jpg Now that is cool. |

Pre war Walther PP in .32 acp.
They are not as rare as you may think and don't suffer from the "James Bond Effect", that is the higher prices asked for PPKs, that actually don't shoot as nicely as the PP does. They also exude the kind of pre WW2 hand fitted and finished quality that you just don't see on modern pistols anymore. And lets face it, the PP is simply an elegant looking pistol. I can't remember if some of the early post war Manurhin made PPs are C&R, but the first ones came in in 1953. They are also good buys and actually have a better finish than the PPs that Walther themselves completed later after they were allowed to manufacture on their own. Every collector should have at least one Walther PP series pistol in his safe. 
My personal 1937 PP. |
