2017-08-16 03:11:58 +0000 UTCI think we underestimate the use of pocket pistols in WWI, because there is no database for privately owned guns used in service by infantrymen. Recently, I was teaching WWI italian trench knife of the Arditi, at a european martian arts event, after the original manual got reprinted, and I really felt I wanted a handgun with me, in a trench raid. We made several simulations involving defendants with gun and bayonet wasters. Knife and granades aren't going to solve all problems and the knife is fantastic once the distance has been closed but, if you are not able to enter in the trench from the side or one defendant is able to level the bayonet at you, you really could use a handy little firearm. The pocket pistol may seem puny, but it can be hidden by the sight of those who would argue that you have a non regulation weapon and used when appropriate. Eric Maria Remarque mentioned that he carried a .25, in "All Quiet on the Western Front".

2017-08-15 05:53:33 +0000 UTCFinally! My most desired handgun, the one that's been on my wishlist longer than any! I have a very odd fascination with .32 caliber handguns (which I totally blame on Jim Croce), and this is the king of them! Thank you all very much!
