astra 600/43
Vintage WWII spanish pistol, 9mm- shoots well, but is well known for having a very heavy recoil IIRC due to the fact that it is a blowback action w/ very heavy springs- have found mine to be reliable, even after several hundred rounds at a stretch- does have a kick though, and for a nine that is saying something- only problem is that my factory magazine is showing heavy wear- at the seams where it is welded, near the juncture with the feed lips, it is cracked from long term stress- according to some milisurp forums this is common... but was able to get replacement surplus factory mags without issues for less than new aftermarkets... overall a nice little shooter for fans of old school pistols
Femaru M-37
another old school pistol, this one was the hungarian royal military's sidearm until the germans steamrollered em- its a small .380, with a barely adequate 7 shot magazine- It shoots well, and as it is small but by no means compact,and solid metal, it has little recoil- the problem is that there are so many smaller pocket pistols with more rounds of higher calibur out there that it is pretty much a historical piece rather than any kind of carry gun- its also a single action with only a grip safety, and NO external safety, so its pretty much got to be carried on condition ZERO unless you wand to court an AD- It is, for all that, fun to shoot and hella sturdy, as well as being a reliable shooter, so if one were to luck into one on the cheap, I do like em.... BTW AVOID the AFTERMARKET MAGS FOR THIS WEAPON they suck- of three, NONE fed reliably.....
high standard sentinel .22LR (9 shot)
fun little plinker/ woods gun that wont quit, and combines the ease of a revolver with the capacity of an auto.....
