Picked this up today at Books a Million. Some good articles on some classic weapons. Just FYI
Funny how the Tommy-gun, which was used the least to kill during any era, is still the gun most associated with the Gangster era!

Here's a little Cold War cutie:
Tiny 1952 Bernardelli 6.35mm:
found it at a local Gun Show this morning, original box, papers, spare extended mag. oil bottle and brush (somewhere?)
It actually works too!

Thanks!....and thanks for not doing the "but, but, but what if you shot someone with it....and, and they found out!" joke

. "The biggest enemy of the firearms business isn't anti-gunners, it's the used gun market!"
And I generally ( and I said generally!!!) will not even consider the purchase of a firearm unless it is at least 60 years old. Having set at the bench, so to speak, I have my own opinions concerning modern firearms. Curmodgeon that I am, I'm a very biased fellow!
Then again, I really don't "need" anything else in the genre. LOL! But on the occasion, I always seem to drag another one home.
I couldn't agree more. I have an 85 year old Mosin Nagant that I love. Also a .32 Colt pocket pistol about the same age that belonged to my grandpa.
My new fangled M and P 9 however, has given me nothing but headaches! Failure to feed in all 3 of the magazines I have for it, causing a potentially fatal jam after firing 12 rounds, and Smith and Wesson's solution did not fix the problem. I need to replace that plastic piece of junk with something in 9 mm,...but my dilemma is,..what? I'm thinking maybe a Beretta 92 or perhaps the Taurus version of it. [huh]

I'd try to find an Israeli Hi-Power, should be around the same price or a little lower. Classy and historical....with scars to prove it!

Horace, check out the Sig 2022, I think they would feed rocks if they would fit in the magazine

Zoot hooting was deemed cruel to owls by PETA......
First I've heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

Horace, don't pass up a good Argentine Hi-Power either. They are pretty skookum.
I have an FEG Hi-power (unlicensed clone). It has gorgeous deep blue, almost black bluing. They used to run about $200-250, and it runs great. Try to find an early serial #, as the QC was better on these.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll be checking out a hot local pawn shop here in town that sells a lot of new and used guns.
Cabela's has their "Gun Library" here too, but the selection is limited and prices outrageous more often than not.
