    For a cheap emergency handgun, the Ruby's actually quite nice if you have a good one and can get around .32. The trigger on mine is pretty good, I'm not surprised companies like Astra and Star kept the trigger system for their later designs.

    • @Goodroosters
      @Goodroosters 3 місяці тому +2

      I'm curious what you mean by "get around .32"? Since the handling is pretty good, do you either mean the availability or the lower power?

    • @nebiyuesayas5600
      @nebiyuesayas5600 3 місяці тому +4

      @@Goodroosters The latter. My minimum for an acceptable cartridge is .380, anything lower than that and the gun itself has to be pretty good to make up for it (usually with either an unusually good design or high capacity). As you say, the Ruby handles well, and I rather like the design (I prefer exposed hammers so I can decock, but it's not a dealbreaker and the postwar Unique 17 has me covered).
      Another example would be the Savage 1907. It's also in .32 (ignoring the .380 version since that was never sold to France), but it has 10 rounds and a really nice trigger, so I'm willing to overlook the capacity. Other (postwar) examples include the FN 1910/22, the MAB Model D, and the Hamada Type 1.
      On the other hand, the Jager pistol only holds 7 rounds, the trigger is ass, and the design is not very comfortable, so I would not consider it a good combat handgun. There's nothing about it that's redeeming.

      ​@@GoodroostersI would say the power of the round to me, there is a reason why when they ranked the simiauto handguns of WW1 they did not count any of the 32s.

    • @nebiyuesayas5600
      @nebiyuesayas5600 3 місяці тому +3

      @tenofprime that, and most of the .32s were blowbacks when most of the guns they rated were locked breech handguns more suitable for martial use.

      The best part is we already have MoMs on the Ruby (and the French 1892), meaning we know we're going to see more repeats. Which is perfectly fine, because some of those repeats are guns I'd love to see again.

    My great grandfather had one of these, it passed to my grandfather (maternal) and now to me.
    I had my cop buddy look at it and try to clean it and he saw some 90 year old crud he couldn't clean in the barrel, so he suggested if we ever wanted to fire it to take it to a proper gun smith.
    Honestly i think we might just get it mounted for display.
