I don't dig the caliber but I dig the look. If they made this in .380 or 9mm I'd be all over this.
>>31188239
they have tokarevs in 9mm that look exactly like this
over here in Iraq 32 acp is the second most popular pistol cartridge after 9mm
The only .32 pistol round I like is .327 fed mag.
>>31188229
I also like .25 acp pistols, they are alot like 32 acp pistols in how they were forgotten
.25 is better than 22 because of centerfire and rimless
>>31188229
I have a ruby .32 and the fucker jams every other round.
>>31190082
So do I and it was missing the disconnect so I made one. The mag didnt fit so i soldered a piece of metal to make it work. The recoil spring was too weak so I ghetto rigged that. Then the frame cracked and I had to weld it. Now it runs fine. They're good guns if you so some smithing on them.
>>31189162
/k/omrade, you just made my day.
>>31191545
No problem, I'm reading up on toks with I wait 11 months to be able to get handgats. Pls post the quality of the 9mm version if you get one. I can't find much info on them
>>31189162
Toks have exposed hammer, though.
I think the Femaru needs a little more love. It's a very good design and the Magyars made quality stuff.
>>31191589

It's almost as if there's a gun called "hammerless" and it fit in your pocket
>>31191589

That seems like a lot of work just to stop your pistol from failing. What did you replace the recoil spring with?
>>31190257
>>31190082
Do you know of yours is a French made or Spanish made Ruby?
The Magazines are only vagly of the same spec as something like 27 factories in Spain produces Ruby's during the great war for France. France started marking the magazines for the maker of the Pistols because it was enough of an issue.

no, the bulldog was used to kill those kids. Thats why the son of sam was origanally know as the .44 killer.

Ah. To me it just gives the sense of a classier age. I don't go full angloboo, but some old-world spellings are nice.

You've had more experience with them than I have I'm sure, so I'll ask: is all the stuff on the internet about them not liking JHP true? The question is academic since the effectiveness of JHP is questionable at .32 anyway, but I'm curious.
>>31191937
I agree with regards to things like "favourite" but "grey" looks nice.
>>31192171
Not him, but I ran a couple boxes of Hornady XTPs through mine with no problems.
I suspect the issues with jamming would be magazine issues. I have 3 magazines, two that work 100% of the time, and one that causes a lot of nosedives.
>>31192320
Interesting, thank you.
>>31192171
I've never shot hollow points through mine.
>>31192320
Are all of your mags Colt? I've got 3, all Colt, one came with my US Property, my blued 1903 came with two. I paid $350 for the blued 1903 and was happy to get a spare $100 mag.
>>31192557
Not the guy you're asking but I recently got a new 1903 mag from Interarms Texas that has worked great so far.
Also $350 for that and two mags is an insane deal broseph.
>>31192590
Thanks, I don't really need naany more mags but it's good to hear there are decent aftermarket ones out there. I was hoping they would make some decent mags with the repro 1903's that are being made.
The gun is a little beat up, pretty sure it was a little under blue book. The bluing in the light makes it look better than it is.
>>31191774
*tips le fedora to you*
Guy asks me to come over and look at a pistol he got from his father. Want's to know if it's "safe". Ask for the story, turns out his father brought it back from WW2. Full mag and one in the chamber. Cleared pistol hand it back to him tell him to keep the ammo and gun separated. He says he doesn't even want it around the house. Asks me if I want to buy it. I have 300 cash in my pocket. Sold. Winrar.

>>31192557
One mag is labeled Colt, but I bought that online in pieces. I just noticed now after unloading my other two that they have no-tilt followers, no doubt newer production. I find it interesting that all three have differing feedlip heights and lengths, though.

Junkyard find. Its a really neat pistol, were would one find more mags?

>>31192001
>>31192557
>>31192635
I remember you. Always have to say that your ponies look fantastic.
Just a question though. Does your safety latch move freely or is it nice and tight?
Mine likes to move about during firing, so I need to constantly hold the safety down or it'll jump up into safe. Dunno how I'd tighten it if it's possible.
>>31194400
That grips looks pretty awesome.
I bought mine from eBay, but I'm sure you can find some on suprlus selling sites like Numrich or APEX or the like. Maybe gunshows would have em too if you don't mind spending the amount you'd spend on an airline ticket.
>>31194400
As I mentioned earlier, Interarms Texas makes new ones that are as far as I can tell good copies of the originals. For instance, they lack the no-tilt shown here >>31194340 and are stamped on the bottom.
Otherwise, you're looking at quite a bit on gunbroker, or cheap modern design mags from Triple K.
>>31194422
Not him, but the safety catch on mine seems plenty tight still. It's nowhere near loose enough to jump like you're describing. That sounds like it's basically swinging free.

1903 is my fav pistol. I don't care about stopping power, I don't carry, I just love a well designed gun.
>>31197407
My aunt left one of these to me in her will and my goddamn dad sold it off when I was still a kid since it "couldn't hit a target at 30 yards". -_-
>>31189196
I would love to see target pistols chambered in .25 acp. Especially if the have the same aesthetic of older .22 pistols like the Colt Woodsman and High Standard pistols.

>>31197709
also it is fully ambidextrous and shares USP compact magazines and most USP parts. It also comes in at a great price and you may set it up with a few different trigger systems. It's unfortunate how easily it gets overlooked compared to other HK pistols.
.32 is a fag caliber
I have one of these, they are fucking great.

Are you fucking serious?
>>31198353
that is the worst makarov import mark I have ever seen
>>31188229
Agreed. Early .32 ACP pistols are great because there are so many interesting designs.
>>31194422
Colt magazines should almost always, except for very early magazines, have "Colt" on the floorplate with the caliber.
The extended front part of the floorplate on those bottom two is a give-away for Triple K manufactured magazines.
>>31194340
Two of these magazine followers appear to be non-Colt. The Colt followers were always like the one I circled in green.
In my experience, aftermarket (almost always Triple K manufacture) magazines are about 80% reliable, and Colt factory magazines are 100% reliable.
It looks like the followers are a little mixed and matched among your magazines, since the one on the right in pic related has a Colt two tone finished magazine body, but a non-factory follower. This would indicate that NONE of your magazines are purely configured as a factory Colt magazine, so you probably have found that they are all unreliable.

First time seeing someone post one of these on /k/. I'm really surprised at how small it is compared to that Savage 1907. For some reason, I thought it would be bigger.
>>31198779
My 1917.
>>31198841
I'm fairly certain all three were designed with similar usage in mind, so it makes sense that they're similar in size. I don't think any of them can be considered small when compared to modern pocket pistols.
Also, note that you missed another FN1900 earlier in this thread (>>31191725).

Nigga pls.
>>31198803
Except for the fact I didn't have any issues with the two on the right out of the 300some rounds I put through it. Probably just got lucky with those two, if anything.
The one on the left is the Colt marked that came in pieces; perhaps I assembled it wrong.
Thanks for the info
>>31198891
Neat.
I assume that one has the bar to lock the trigger so you get tactile feedback to tell you the safety is engaged. I'm curious about how that affects the trigger pull.
>>31198731
No amount of love is enough.
>>31198973
Hmm, maybe I'm not matching follower to magazine body, then. Some Triple K magazines allegedly (if you believe what you read online) are perfectly reliable. I have not bought too many of them because of bad experiences myself, but I've yet to find one that's 100% reliable.

Welcome to Century Arms
>>31199000
All I was saying is that I've never seen a /k/ommando who owns an FN 1900. They are discussed from time to time, but nobody else here seems to actually own one.
>>31197709
The P2000 font reminds me of pic related
>>31198985
>I assume that one has the bar to lock the trigger so you get tactile feedback to tell you the safety is engaged. I'm curious about how that affects the trigger pull.
Maybe it's because I'm just getting back from working out, but isn't it internally identical to the 1907?
>>31199012
>>31198353
Why would it be on the slide and not the frame?
>>31199062
Because the vast majority of import companies hate your guts. You want it on the barrel, inside the slide.
>>31199062
>>31199104
>Because the vast majority of import companies hate your guts
Exactly
>>31199134
That one is actually fine with me.
>>31199149
Me too, to be honest. At least they didn't put it on the other side of the barrel like they did with the newer imports.
I just hate their laser etching compared to the one in >>31199104.
It's like a dot-matrix laser printer or something
>>31199059
Early 1907s (including the one in the picture) did not have the bar that locks the trigger. The trigger moves normally when the safety is engaged, it just won't cause the striker to be released.
I believe they added the locking bar so people wouldn't get confused in emergencies (if the trigger moves but it won't fire, the normal reaction would probably be to assume no round is chambered rather than that the safety is engaged).
I'm not aware of any other internal differences.
>>31199176
The "CAI GEORGIA VT" Century import mark is fine with me generally, if they put it somewhere nondescript and keep it in one line. The Mach 1 Arsenal import marks tend to be OK because they put them in the most nondescript place, even though they use more than one line of text. But the PW Arms billboards are extremely objectionable.
>>31199192
I see what you're saying now. Yes, you are correct. The trigger in my 1917 doesn't move back as far when the safety is engaged.
>>31199104
>>31199134
What I mean is, I thought the frame was considered the firearm and that's what would have to be marked. Import marks don't really bother me
>>31198985
>>31199192
As for how it affects the trigger pull compared to the 1907, I have no 1907 to compare against. However, I can say that the trigger pull is a crisp 8-10 pounds in my estimation. I don't have a trigger pull gauge, but damn this thing is heavy.
>>31199281
That's just the serial number. Import marks are meant to give additional information that may normally found on the slide or barrel anyway, like country of manufacture and caliber, and the name of the model of gun.
>>31189196
.25 is semi-rimmed
>>31199104
>import marks
This one is neatly typed, but the location is a bit obnoxious.
>>31188229
heads up for anyone who likes old .32/.25 hammerless pistols from the turn of the last century. It used to be common knowledge but since it happened to an acquaintance I feel like I have to do a /k/ PSA:
If you have an old hammerless gun, a great majority of the older pistols used the firing pin as the ejector, so if you feel you must cycle live ammunition through them manually for whatever reason, BE EXTREMELY SLOW AND GENTLE WHILE PULLING BACK THE SLIDE IF A ROUND IS IN THE CHAMBER.
Watched a friend of a friend at the range go to chamber check, and yanked back on the slide:
weapon fired out of battery, case was bulged pretty bad on one side, but you could end up glocknading a piece of legit history - or worse, NDing somewhere where you really don't want to ND.
I'm sure some of you are aware of this, but just wanted to spread the word.
carry on
>>31199349
So is .32 acp.
>>31199370
>a great majority of the older pistols used the firing pin as the ejector,
I don't know about "a great majority." To my knowledge, just the Browning design used in the FN 1910, FN 1922, and Colt 1908 Vest Pocket has this issue. Maybe some copies of those guns as well.
>>31199300
I just got out a gauge and checked. The trigger pull is 7-8 pounds on mine.
>>31199410
Probably the same, then.
>>31199397
lots of knockoffs and cheap copies abounded back then too, and a lot of them were popular as police pistols in europe and quite a few made it back as war trophies, etc in some form.
Just trying to warn people who might not know any better. better safe than sorry.
>It's different than my Glock, and that scares me. therefore it's awful.
Every CCP review ever. fucking take care of it and it'll serve you well.
>>31199505
Walther a fucking best
CCP is big enough for combat, small enough for carry, and in 9mm.They should make one that has an ambi slide release and no safety, plus M1 release.
>>31199586
It's light on recoil for its size and has a really easy slide to rack. Like, the only downside is if you're too lazy to clean the gun every couple hundred rounds. And lets be honest. this is your EDC, not your range toy
