- Tobi and George love traditional European hunting weapons.
These valuable guns were manufactured in the 1950s through the 1990’s, when high volumes were produced in Germany and Austria. Reputable companies include Sauer & Sohn, Krieghoff, Merkel, Heym, and Guns from Ferlach Austria. Tobi, a gunsmith and dealer located in the scenic Saurlands Region of central Germany, is a former airborne weapons specialist and officer honorably discharged in 2011 from the German Army. George is a native of Mobile, Alabama and avid outdoorsman who fell in love with German hunting traditions while serving in Heidelberg, Germany as a US Army Physician during the early 1980’s.
They founded T & G German Gun Imports in 2018.
Hello thank you.i love Germany.
Putting the safety back on is not enough to safely take off the hair trigger. In German hunting school you learn that if you engaged the hair trigger and you don't want to shoot anymore, first you point the barrel in a save direction, then you put the safety on, then you break (open) the gun, THEN you take off the hair trigger.
Especially with older guns or very lightly set hair triggers you might still get a shot if you take off the hair trigger, even when the safety is engaged.
Also note that the Greener safety engages with the trigger and is inherently less safe than, for example, the Mauser safety which engages the firing pin, which is the part of the gun that needs to move in order to shoot.
I just acquired one of these, made in the 1920's. 8x57mm R and 12-gauge instead of 7x57mm R and 16-gauge, and no scope mount. Amazing guns. As many mountain men and pioneers as we had in America in the 1700's and 1800's, right up to the early 20th century, it's baffling how drillings weren't really a thing in America since they're simple, reliable, and incredibly versatile firearms. With one gun, you've got two shotgun barrels choked for different ranges and a rifle barrel, so you can hunt anything and everything with one gun. Any mountain man worth his salt would have loved to own a drilling.
One word: Weight. Drillings are really heavy.
And they're not at all simple to use, many a hunter has shot a deer with birdshot or (worse, in urban-ish areas) shot a duck with a 8mm bullet. 2 triggers, 3 barrels, one button to choose your preferred ammunition... combine that with hunting fever and you've got a recipe for at least some inconvenience.
Drillings are awesome, but there's a reason they're not popular with the survival crowd. If anything, you'd take a rifle-shotgun with one shotgun barrel.
Nowadays, people usually put a smaller calibre rifle barrel inside the right shotgun barrel to be ready for smaller game like foxes. But that makes the gun even heavier.
The Drilling was designed for relatively small German forests, hunts where you don't carry a lot of equipment besides your gun or even just sitting on your elevated position for a couple hours to wait for whatever shows up.
It's definitely not a survival gun, despite Herrmann Göring blowing a few million Reichsmarks on equipping Luftwaffe planes with "survival Drillings". See the Forgotten Weapons video on those. The Americans got it right, the Germans most definitely got it wrong.
@@tazelator1 My drilling weighs the same as the bolt-action rifle I used to hunt with. It's light, well-balanced, and despite the long barrels, quite handy. I've never shot the wrong barrel at anything and it is extremely difficult to accidentally fire the wrong shotgun barrel because there's two triggers, and it's even harder to accidentally fire the rifle because you have to flip a lever to do that and there's a rear sight that automatically flips up when you select the rifle barrel and flips down when you select the shotgun barrel. The only way you're getting mixed up and firing the wrong barrel is if you're a complete idiot who has no idea how double-barrel shotguns work.
I think the Apex of the Drilling is 9,3mmx74R/2x16GA.
Waidmannsheil! .....Great Video, love to see the Drillings, I got mine while in Wiesbaden working for the Corps, same situation I took the hunting Course, me and a buddy of mine brought several guns home...Thanks for posting...Good Times
Brother, I did my hunting course the last year I was stationed in Germany and purchased a model 3000 in 16GA 8x57IRS from Waffen Frank in Mainz. Great gun WMH!!!
Is yours a 16 gauge with 2 1/2 in chambers? Asking cause I have one too and haven't checked with 2 3/4 shells.
TheMaineMan 16/70mm same as 2 3/4 in
Lovely weapon. I've been looking at a Chiappa Double Badger, and I keep judging it on it's barrel length, the Sauer and Sohn Driller was a bit more what I expected. (I've recently settled on the CDB seeing footage about US Infantry soldiers with Drillers of the same size as the CBD and specs in all metal, satisfied.) Thanks again for a trip.
😍😍😍😍
How come you don't make any videos no more?
Where could I find the rear site and its link? THX
