yeah, Ive seen Froggys cz, it's a lovely bit of kit, but doubt I can come up with an excuse for one on 7.3

just paid £1000 for a Glock 19 though, it's ridiculous money for what it is, but it's slam dunk 7.3 and fits my collection so...

next on the list is something in 45, as if I get all the variations granted, I'll have 5 9mm's, would be nice to have some other calibers on the go, even smaller stuff like 32acp or something

That's a hell of a 7.3 collection, I'm guessing technical innovation as a reason.

the p7, and p9 are, yes. the enfield is by virtue of it's age mainly. the G19, Steyr m9A1 and XdM 3.8 are historically relevant.

There you go, I learnt something today... :) I didn't realise either. Looks really nice. :good:
bradaz11 wrote:it's an Enfield mk2 no star, in 38-200 or more commonly called 38S&W, looks very similar to the older 455's, but is basically a scaled down version. before my research, when I saw the revolver I thought it was odd, but fell in love. I had no idea that they didn't use the 455's in ww2.

webley is next :)

it hasn't been refinished as far as we can tell, its more parkerised. and the grips are wooden, with 4 little notches cut in them top left side. It needed a few springs replacing on the latch, but other than that, it looks great

Now you're taking the pi$$!

My P9S was my favourite H&K as I also had the PSP (the fore runner of the P7) which had the same heel-of-butt magazine release. I've never had a pistol that would throw the brass as far as the PSP would...!!

Not sure what your access to 9mm ammo is, but in the P7, make sure you only use TMJ. Even bullets with an exposed lead base can cause the gas vent to block and foul the gas cylinder to the point of jamming the gun. H&K used to supply each PSP/P7 with a carbon scraper for the cylinder.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
