First C&R purchase

[czechboy]

I finaly got it in! I'm happy with it, although it does have more holster wear than I would of liked. I apologize for her being messy, I took the pics before I got a chance to clean her. Here you go:

Wow, not bad, not bad at all. Very nice.

Great first C & R handgun purchase. My first was also the Walther P1. Beautiful gun with lots of history and fun to shoot. You'll have no regrets.

Nice choice - long serrations and pinned. Happy shooting!

Congrats! Clean her up and get her to the range. We do expect a full range report.

So.....what's next on the list?

 

[BlueHeeler]

YES! The really good thing is you can go to Walmart and buy standard ammo unlike most other C&R firearms. I also like the mechanism on those guns. There really is something to German engineering.

OK ... now that you've got the FIRST purchase behind you, let's look forward to the next one. I don't know where you are located, but if you are anywhere near the SOMD area, and willing to cross the bridge into the free air of Virginia, I'll be glad to let you try out a CZ82. I think you'll be surprised at how well it fits your hands, even if they are large. You'll also like the way that it shoots better than the P-1 (but that's a great first purchase).

go with something in the 9mm range if your price is limited

You have to be f'ing kidding me! There were no feet in those pics!

Hey Guys'

I was just going thru Sarco's ads. They have C&R Argentine Colt made 1911s; Argentine made 1911s; and, Argentine Blaster Molinas for very low prices. It looks like no lunch money for me for awhile.

The Colts are 1933 commercial guns; The Argentines are ststemos 1927; and the Blasters are of course a big question mark.

They seem like super deals. Has anyone had experience buying from Sarco?

There are not guns in those pics.

You asked where the feet were. I provided some very ugly ones.

Enjoy your P1 Mine shoots far better with 124gr.

No I didn't.

The thing at the end there is a question mark. You know, what you add when you ask something.

I looked really long and hard at those, especially the Sistemas. The Colts that are former National Police and Buenos Aires police firearms looked pretty badly dogged. The Sistemas (authentic Colts, but made in Argentina) all looked pretty good at first glance, but a closer look made them appear to have been re-arsenaled in a pretty heavy-handed manner. No crisp lines or markings left. All of the barrels seemed to be pretty well shot out, too.

Still, they are great historic pieces. If they could talk, you'd probably hear tales of the roles they played in making young protesters "disappear". I'll probably regret not picking one up at those prices some day, but for about the same money, I can have three Tokarev variants in much better condition.
