    Me: "Uh...no."

    I love the redundancy of a tip up barrel and one hand cocking for chambering the gun.

    Legend says that it was inspired by Millán-Astray, the founder of the Spanish Legion and who had lost one arm and one eye in combat.
    In reality, the rationale for this gun was a gun that could be operated with a single hand (i.e. a horseman that holds the reins). And it is also true that the gun was presented to Millán-Astray.

    • @MrDgwphotos
      @MrDgwphotos 5 місяців тому +3

      Yeah, it still takes two hands to load, which makes more sense for the cavalry, and I suspect there is no way to make it possible to load one handed without setting it down.

    A blowback full powered 9mm, no trigger guard, and a weird mechanism replacing one of the core components are all ideas that sound mediocre on paper and tend to be even scarier in practice. So let's combine all of them!

      @blshouse 9mm Largo and 9mm Parabellum were of comparable power back in its day, as would 9mm Steyr. Largo was actually technically more common during WW1, it was guns like the Luger that solidified Parabellum as the standard.

    I bought one of those about 45 years ago for about $150 and it came with 1000 rounds of 9mm Steyer. when I burned up all the ammo I sold it for what I bought it for. I shot the Steyer, 9mm browning long and of course 9mm largo, .38 acp and single loaded 9mm parabellum. It ran fine for all those years....

    One of the better Idea's to come out of Eibar region with that Tip-up barrel. Way easier to use than an Astra in the same 9mm Largo which is no joke for velocity. myself, I'd stick to the tip-up and forgo ever using the cocking lever.
