Yesterday's Weapons Forums

One of the joys of gun collecting is the field of high quality .32acp and .380acp pocket pistols field by so many countries prior to WWII. The group is fairly large with the FN model 1910 and 1922, Walther's PP and PPK, Beretta 1934 and 1935, The odd ball French 1935A and 1935S chambered in .32 auto long, Astra 300, etc... Here is a shot of my pre war Hungarian P37 in .380acp. I seem to see the .32 autos that Hungary made for the Nazis after their alliance more often. The bulk of these went to Luftwaffe crews from what I gather. Rarer are the pre war .380 pistols with the Crown of Saint Stephen on them, which is what you are looking at below.

The P37 was a improvement over the earlier P29 and gave good enough service. It was built to a commercial standard of finish and is quite robust. Accuracy is OK, but the sights are small and the trigger pull is on the heavy side.

I Lubs me a good Hunky Gun!!!
