Thanks, Frank. I havent met her mom yet but I told her to get a glock or something for reliability reasons. I face palmed when she showed me what she's going to be trusting her life with. Womenz.... It IS a little bit old. But maybe she can get something for it on an antique gun forum, then buy a **REAL** CCW piece? |
| It is called a FN model 10 with the 1922 improvement, so sometimes called a FN 10/22. The original design was changed in 1922 because a military contract with Serbia i believe, that required a longer barrel. They just stuck a longer barrel in the slide with a slide extention. This gun remained in production into WWII, where the occupying Germans had FN make them for their uses. During WWII US GI's brought many home as war trophys, so the ones you encounter here are often marked with German acceptance marks. I think they made the guns in .32acp and .380 (9mm kurtz). Neat little guns, but for CC, go with something that is not an antique |

Why dosn't she cc this? Tell her to get something a little newer and most likely reliable. http://www.redriverrenegades.com/CATALONIAN_FLINTLOCK_PISTOL_copy.gif +1 |
