ON ITS WAY


 
@Skans

I think you'll be very happy with the Beretta.  First thing I do when I get a new gun like that is completely disassemble it and examine the parts to determine quality of manufacturing.  IF YOU HAPPEN to do this (and don't if you are not comfortable doing it)  A couple of pics of the fire control mechanism and bolt would sure be appreciated!!!

More know nothings giving advice to other know nothngs.

State what you particularly disagree with as far as advice given in this thread, Action.

This is the perfect gift for the Warrior Priest in your family.  Assassinate first; administer last rites quickly thereafter.

"I'M SO UGLY THAT
I'M BEAUTIFUL!"

Here is an interesting firearm for y'all.  This is a Kriss 10mm.  Looks like a roof-tile nail gun, I know.  Two things about it: 1) supposedly, the recoil is nonexistent - something nearly impossible to find in a 10mm pistol and 2) you can put a pistol brace on it.  I think I might just need one of these things! 

Have you ever seen one of these?  It's a Demro-Tac-1 in 45acp.


Do you think it looks "cheap"?  Well, it was designed to be a poor-man's Tommy-gun. You can't see it in the photo, but it has milled "cuts" in the barrel - just above the wood handguard.  

Can anyone tell me what is so "interesting" about this firearm?  There are several things - 4 to be exact.  See if you can name a couple, or even one!
 

Let's talk about the Kel-Tec P50

• Assault Pistol with 50 round magazine capacity.  Fits flush wit the gun
• too large for a handgun, so I call it an assault pistol
• 5.7 round - not a bad round, about the ballistics of 9mm, but with a bit more range.
• Price - about $700 - - not bad!
• 50 round magazines  -only $21 direct from Kel Tec.
• Spooky-cool looking, here are some photos.

              My ideal Gun for home defense...... 
    Simple -- effective --- not too many moving parts --- can keep it in a drawer untouched for 20 years, and when needed aim, pull the trigger and it will fire... 

              The Python is back.

Building on Colt’s Snake Gun legacy, the legendary double-action revolver is now available in stainless steel in 3", 4.25” and 6” barrel lengths. The 2020 Python features modern stainless steel alloys and a re-designed rear sight. Thirty percent more steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight gives you a stronger revolver and more robust shooting experience. A recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sight, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion make this a gun you’ll want to shoot AND show off. The Python is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accommodates 38 Special cartridges.

  They're building the blued ones again now too.

Colt announced at Shot Show that they are now making Blued Pythons again.  MSRP is $1,600.  Not a bad deal

Colt made a semi-auto version of the 1918 BAR a few years back - I missed out big time on this.  Even saw one for sale at a Gun Show.
 

Firearms will certainly be needed.

             That is about as Classic a look as it gets... Beautiful Gun with a long lineage...

Probably doesn't do much for the value of my '57 and '60 Pythons.  I bought them to use as trading fodder for something I've always wanted - the Sig AMT....



The Sig AMT now sell between $10,000 - $14,000.  Pythons are only worth maybe $2,000 each.  Then, I've got a couple of other rare rifles that I planed on using, but that was when the Sig AMT was selling for $6,000.  Always chasing a pipe dream, it seams.  
 

While we are on "pipe dreams" of mine - guns which have gone up in value to more than what I'd pay, here are a few more:

Scar 17s .308

HK P7M13 - squeeze cocker 9mm - sells for about $7,500


Korth 9mm Semi-auto - over $10,000

          Aren't those Sigs made in Switzerland?..... Are they chambered for Nato 7.62 rounds or something else?

The Sig AMT was made in Switzerland.  It is the "Americanized" version of the Swiss PE57.  Semi-auto and yes, chambers .308 (7.62x51)

Here's the Sig PE57 (Stgw57).....

Basically, the same rifle, except chambered in 7.5x55mm cartridge, same as the K31, and select fire. 
 

Here is a cool little 2-shot pistol.  Manufactured in Bulgaria, I believe, but really could be made by anyone with a milling machine and some basic skills.  This is what "thugs" use in England to rob people at gun point.  The UK cops have had an impossible time getting on top of these things.  If I could find one that is actually in the NFA registry in the US, I'd pay the tax, fill out the paperwork and buy one.https://youtu.be/hgi3AG2izj4

Bought a CZ 75 B Omega today. 
I tried many times to get one last year (discontinued in 2023) no luck.
Today they show up at $549, free shipping, no tax.
