I think it is a Walther PPK, surely a Walther, though, since PPK may have come later. This appears to be WW-II vintage, German-made.

Pappy? What do you say? imp


 

I did not know Beretta used a little finger "grip" on the mgazine! Now that I looked closer, I see the "European" style mag release at the bottom of the grip. The usual argument against that type release involves the fact that it takes two hands to pop out the mag, and wastes a lot of precious time. So far in my lifetime, such a predicament has never presented itself.

Only pointed my .45 once at a couple of hoodlums who would not stop harassing me; told them to scram, and they did! imp
 

You people. I thought this was going to be some noted human we were going to have to figure out the body part of and I thought that was going to be close to impossible. :( Guns, I've no glue makes and models unless I look them up. I've seen my dad's up close, when I was about 7 or 8 and I couldn't tell you what it was and had no desire to find out back then either.

Ah...! Someone with grit speaks! Quick story: The "gun forums", of which there may be a zillion, often have members who brag by listing and including images of their firearms. A most foolish and really unrewarding activity, feeding only the posters' egos. My retort always was, "You left out one very important detail: your address!"

Guns are, in reality, better than "money in the bank". They appreciate in value almost predictably. Unfortunately, they are also favored by thieves as first choice during a burglary. Thus, describing one's predilection towards firearms is actually quite foolish (though we "gun Culture" nuts do it all the time, don't we?).

Lara, yes, I did, at one time collect guns, in a way. I collected them to allow appreciation in value, then disposed of them when President Clinton's Crime Bill did more to further the sale of firearms than did any other single act in memory. We of the Culture are a motley crew, are we not? imp
 
Good! Then I have a dumb question I can't find the answer to on the net. Hope it's ok to ask it (hide it) in this thread.

Suppose you have a rimfire .22 caliber rifle and you use a centerfire shell in it. Could it ruin the rifle? Be dangerous?

Also interested in what will happen in the reverse situation.
 
Nancy, my husband said that neither of them would fit in the chamber of the other, couldn't be done. The centerfire shell is too big, wouldn't fit, jam, and blow up/ruin the rifle and be very dangerous. He just showed me the two bullets to compare, and the sizes are very different from each other.
 
I prefer a smaller, lighter gun!:rolleyes:

Now, now, do you really think for a moment this imp would propose to display some grotesque image, to be "quanderized" over as to it's origin? Apologize if I disappointed! Actually, I figgered only Pappy would reply, but I surely welcome ALL replies. Makes me feel good inside, ready to grant wishes! imp
