Spider defeats Millipede
Переглядів 1,3 тис.21 годину тому
I’d originally called it a centipede but was corrected. An interesting one sided battle . It’s one sided as apparently millipedes cannot bite whereas centipedes can.

  • @OldManMontgomery
    @OldManMontgomery 9 місяців тому

    Yes, I am pedantic. NO, that is not a Browning pistol. It is a model 1910, designed by John Browning and manufactured by "Fabrique Nationale de Armes du Guerre" (National Manufacturing of War Weapons) in Herstal, Belgium. (Still around, called FN.) As a firearms company, Browning did not exist until around 1955. One notes the severe wear on the right grip panel and the much lesser wear on the left panel. For a right handed person - typically the majority in this era - the holster is mounted on the belt with the right side out. Having the left grip inboard would protect the checkering and finish on the left side a bit better. That pattern is observed on all sorts of 'working' handguns practically forever. On the positive side, Yes, I would like to have one. I collect select pistols of the pre WW2 era (at least designed then) and the FN1910 is high on my desired list. I do have an FN1910/22, but it isn't quite the same. And I quite agree with Mr. Collins (prior to me), Browning designs are outstanding. John M Browning was a genius in his craft, and is quite as important to firearms as Dr..Einstein was to Physics.

    There were lots of companies in the US making revolvers back then, which made competition for sales intense and kept the potential for profits low. Many of the bigger manufacturers offered a number of brands (with price-attendant quality) as a way to better make money. Most of the smaller companies made the cheapest possible guns which quickly broke or wore out in use, while others like H&A made good products worthy of ownership and use. Even with the quality, it should be remembered that most of these were built for black-powder pressures, and firing them with modern smokeless ammo can be dangerous to gun and user. The folding hammer spur on this one is an idea I'd like to see revisited; a perfect compromise between smoothness and utility.
