Shooting a Party Leader PPK!
Переглядів 2,8 тис.28 днів тому
In this video, Tom and Isaiah from @Gunstorian take a Party Leader PPK to the range and then (after swapping the grips) shoot it. The gun is from 1938 and has an excellent bore. These were mostly issued to political leaders so probably not used much "in action". www.patreon.com/legacycollectibles Check out our Podcast "Flak & Fubar" flakfubar.buzzsprout.com/ Legacy Instagram: lega...
Does Bore Matter, Part II

Several months ago we tested a P.38 with 2 barrels; one with an excellent bore and one with a terrible bore. We shot the gun using both bore from 7 yards and found very little effect on accuracy. In this video, we test it again with @Gunstorian, but from 15 yards. Let's see if the condition of the bore effect accuracy. www.patreon.com/legacycollectibles Check out our Podcast "Flak & Fubar" flak...

    Even experts perpetuate the myth that the Luger P08 was unreliable in dirty environments. This has been definitively disproven in testing. The Luger is extremely reliable under those conditions. Testing has been done to show the design does a great job of keeping debris out ot the action.

    My grandfather, an Army Captain in WW2 & Korea, brought home one of those scabbard covered Samurai Swords with the fabric tassels connected to wooden tags stamped with a Standard or Kanji- it hung upon his wall in the Den from 1948-1989. It was not factory made, it was hand built forged sword and had a snake or animal skin wrapped handle-it was braided, it was beautiful!! In the 1980’s groups from Japan came to Oregon, Washington & California to buy back these swords. It was for honorable GI’s & Captains to return essentially stolen family heirlooms. My grandfather had a very important Sword and it was sought after for 30+ years. He felt it was the right thing to do in returning the sword.

    If I were to make an educated guess on the P3 eight as the selection of the replacement for the Luger, I’d have to say it looks like it’s cheaper to manufacture From the other 9 mm firearms like the enlarged Walther PP If you look at the barrel on the P3 eight sticking out by itself, the action itself is self-contained behind the barrel, whereas the Walther PP, which is actually very pretty good encompasses the barrel and I would say that would be a much more expensive firearm to make any military Troops, these guns would probably look at the long-term cost

      Yes, and when the Germans occupied other Countries they always let the population keep their weapons so that they could ambush their soldiers. NOT! Starting with the cavemen, whenever a person, tribe or nation defeated their enemy, they always seized their weapons.

    'Buy the {insert collectible} and not the story', is solid advice. A 'story' is just that...a story. Provenance is very different from a story. Unfortunately too many people think a story and provenance are the same thing. Provenance can add a lot of value to a collectible, but stories are worth what their made out of...whole cloth.

    You mention that one of the items taken from Fritz Walther's home was an air pistol. I don't know the full history of Walther Firearms, but I do know that postwar the Walther Company manufactured air pistols. There is a very famous promotional photo of Sean Connery as James Bond holding a long barrel target style pistol. The pistol that Connery is holding is a Walther LP-53 air pistol. 'LP' stands for 'Luft Pistole' (air pistol). The LP-53 copies the lines of Walther's Olympia .22 target pistol.
