The 1910 FN Browning. John Moses Browning probably completed the prototype for his “New Model” pistol in 1908.

The Little Pole: The Vis wz. 35 Pistol - 9mm Parabellum The Vis 35, the Radom, the wz.

35, whatever you want to call it, this pistol has quite an interesting history despite being a gun not many people know of, but this story begins in Poland. (yes I used Polandball, deal with it) Poland was in an interesting state following World War 1. For the most part, Poland was always someone’s territory, usually either Germany or Russia and saw their chance after World War 1. With one in shambles, the other stabbing itself, it fought a war of independence and won, and with the 1920′s began work on modernizing it’s military.

The standard rifle was based off the German Kar98AZ, the wz. Rocksmith 2014 All Updates And Unlocked Profile And Over 400 Cus. 30 HMG that was effectively the M1917 machine gun in 8mm Mauser. The big pain however was the wz 28, their version of the BAR. So the basics of the wz 28 was a Polish version of the FN BAR. So Poland was impressed by the BAR that FN brought to the testing in the 1920′s and went t order about 10,000 plus the technical package to make them. They got the 10,000 guns, but no technical package.

The Polish kept asking where it was, FN kept stalling, and here’s why. They didn’t have a technical package. You see, FN and Colt had signed a deal allowing the two to make a number of guns, so long as they stayed in their respective countries. So Colt got the Americas, FN got Europe. The thing was, FN didn’t make most of the guns they shipped, Colt made them while FN restamped them. So there was no technical package. This event led to the Poles reverse engineering the guns they had and souring relations between the two.

Now your thinking why I’m bringing this up, because it’s why the Radom exists. So in the 1930′s, Poland was eyeing to replace it’s long series of Nagant revolvers, and tested a number of semi-automatic designs, including the FN 1903, 1922 and the CZ24. The CZ24 won, but FN brought a prototype of the Browning Hi-Power and many officers liked it. A later test done had the Hi-Power win, but due to the incident with the BAR, they decided to just copy it’s lockwork and make it themselves. So the basic idea was drawn up and ready to rumble, at least until the Cavalry started whining.

The decocking mechanism required one to lock the slide open then pull the trigger, which is pretty elaborate. Turns out it was from the designer wanting to reap more royalties. Throw that out and the Vis 35 enters production. Radom pistols were and are very high quality guns, probably one of the best World War II pistols depending on ones opinion and served the Polish very well and was made by the Nazis under the designation Pistole P35(p). During the War, the plant was run by Steyr who made both original style guns off the remaining parts as well as newer ones with the safety/decocker removed. During the war, a scheme arose in Radom’s factory, where workers were smuggling parts out, marked with a duplicate serial number, assembling guns and shipping them to the Polish Home Army. This ended up badly for those involved, with the workers caught and hung and barrel production moving to Steyr for the rest of the war.

In the end, around 450,000 Radom pistols were made by both the Polish and the Nazis and now float across the gun markets. They’re accurate, reliable and very high quality including some of the other late-war made guns and serve as one of the more forgotten pistols of World War III. The Ruby Plus Ultra high capacity semi automatic pistol, The Ruby pistol was a Spanish made firearm based off of the FN Model 1903.

First produced in 1914, it was unique for its day because its magazine held nine.32 ACP cartridges rather than 6 or 7, which most semi automatic pistols had at the time. The method to increase this capacity was done simply but making the grip and handle longer, thus allowing it to accept a long magazine. In 1928 Llama took the idea to an incredible extreme by introducing the Ruby Plus Ultra, which utilized a detachable magazine which held 20 rounds. The grip was widened to accommodate a double stack magazine. Furthermore the grip was lengthened even more to accommodate a longer magazine.

As a result, the Plus Ultra has a ridiculously long grip. Production was discontinued in 1933 when the pistol failed to achieve significant sales. Often, its long grip made the pistol seem cumbersome and unwieldy. Ruby-Type Star M1914 semi-automatic pistol Manufactured by Garate Anitua (GN), sub-contractor of Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. In Eibar, Spain, c.1914-who the fuck knows.

Known by the French army as the Pistolet Automatique Type Star Addictive Drums Presets Download. ..32ACP/7,65mm Browning seven-round magazine, blowback semi-automatic. One of the many types of pistol France contracted Spain to produce at the outset of WW1 that fell under the blanket term ‘Ruby pistol’, because of the better known Gabilondo and Uresti ‘Ruby’ pistol manufactured in Eibar. France was in a rush to get modern semi-automatic handguns to replace its aging Mle 1892 service revolver, and couldn’t be too picky about their quality for most of WW1.

As a result, the Ruby contract was shared by more than three dozens sub-contractors, often resulting in wildly different measurements and poor parts interchangeability. Note that compared to the FN Browning Mle 1903 pistol it was a copy of, the Ruby is quite short. Gabilondo y Uresti Ruby semi-automatic pistol Manufactured in Eibar, Spain c.1914-1918 by Gabilondo and Uresti (GU)..32ACP/7,65mm Browning seven-round removable box magazine, blowback semi-automatic. The original Ruby Model pistol that was ordered by France at the beginning of WW1, seen here as most of them were manufactured, a bit rough around the edges but functional. The other main manufacturer was Star, also located in Eibar, but they were joined in the endeavor by numerous other factories. France was in a rush to get modern semi-automatic handguns to replace its aging Mle 1892 service revolver, and couldn’t be too picky about their quality for most of WW1.

As a result, the Ruby contract was shared by more than three dozens sub-contractors, often resulting in wildly different measurements and poor parts interchangeability.The Ruby itself was a copy of the FN Mle 1903 pistol designed by John Browning. It should be a good thing to know that Spain, keeping true to its reputation of lawlessness in the old World, gave next to no fuck about patent infringements, and generally went on producing guns for itself after their contract were filled.This particular example is on the chunkier side, probably because of poor metal quality.
