Very nice, but don’t forget about the P07.

You can say that again!
A friend let me shoot his P-07 (shorter version) at the range. If ever there was a plastic magic wonder nine I could love, it's that one. Great ergonomics, points naturally, trigger is nice. My wife shot it, his wife shot it, I shot it. Everyone that shot it was slaying plates on the plate rack as if the gun was aiming by itself.

During WWI France was desperate to arm its military with sidearms. In the North of Spain, near and around Eibar the Spanish small arms industry worked overtime to make what has become known as a “Ruby” style pistol. Chambered in 7.65mm (aka .32 acp) the French Military bought them by the bushel basket! This one, marked “Destroyer” has two markers that point to its service with the French Army - one, a lanyard loop, and two, a round steel button on the left side of the slide to prevent the manual safety from disengaging when holstered. I need to work on tuning the magazine to reliably shoot it; mechanically it fieldstrips like the Browning 1903 the Colt clones...

Winner winner is right! That’s a great find for sure!

I think webleys look just crazy for some reason! Like the gunsmith told his kid to draw a gun and then he made it.

Colombia. A neat country to visit. My wife is Colombian; I have several guns that are from Colombia. One of them is the Madsen (Danish Gun Maker) M-47. Reportedly the last bolt action military rifle purchased; Colombia bought a batch of them, never even issued them before they went on the surplus market. There are two types out there; one batch has an enameled disc in the stock, mine is from the other group - no disc.

Chambered in .30-06, aka .30 US they have a five round internal magazine. They are a good looking gun.
