EOD - bombs and bullets
Well, this week I found a couple of really nice pistols to pick up. I am not usually a pistol guy, I seem to tend to gravitate to the long guns, but I had to get these especially considering the prices on them.
So, being broke, I figured pull out some trade, so I dusted off a couple of AR's....I have others, and I figure in Texas, I have my choice of a couple of hundred AR's of all flavors at any big gun show...they are easily replaced if needed....
So first up is a PP rig...actually I just paid for the pistol, and the extra mag and holster were thrown in....
The gun is super nice I think, matching, nice shape, Heer issue PP....from s/n my research says it is 1942 production. It came with the flat bottom mag, which seems to be original WWII, and they threw in the finger extension mag, which I think is post war, but looks good!
The holster I am not sure...looks German, except stud is brass, but it fits it perfectly. There are no markings anywhere on it that I can find. In any case it works, at least for now.
First PP I ever owned, always wanted one though...like them much more than the PPK's. I had the choice of several, including a nice late war blanko ac marked one, but it was mismatched. The other Army issue wasn't as nice. Clay scored a really nice late war at the same place, and the guy saved one for himself...he showed it to me...a beautiful 5th variation SS issue gun....
I had enough credit after this one and the other I picked up to leave a deposit on a German Hi-Power too...that one will be in lay away jail for a little though....
Did I pick good for my first PP?
