Anyone shoot thier new Tariq yet?

[cote_b]

I am seriously considering buying one of these. Has anyone got out to the range with their yet? If not, what is your general impression of this handgun? I like the idea that you can get a Beretta for the price of a Norinco.

Last night I shot with 2 of them.

Very positive feeling, very accurate, it's a well made high quality pistol.

Barrel, slide and frame are very well fit, no loose there.

Now I know Saddam have made high quality guns.

Has I know, it's only one like this one in Canada.

Sorry to intrude but if you like a Beretta going for the price of a Norinco why not look at a used Taurus? My favourite pistol.

some people are drawn to the history behind this pistol

if it was made elsewhere I think I'd be more interested....I'd rather get a Taurus

If you will sell me a used Taurus for $350 I'll take it. These seem like a good alternative to a Norinco if you want an inexpensive 9mm shooter.

they look like they were pour-cast in dried Camel dung in a mud hut.

People are usually drawn to pistols with GOOD history, not corrupt douchebaggery

No different that wanting a Nazi pistol IMO. I wouldn't mind owning either.

X2...its still history, and has a story!

 

[5440fight]

Yeah, and these ones have squigley written on them! I can tell my friends it says what ever I want: "Christian killing assault pistol" or "personal property of S. Hussein" or my personal favorite "this side toward enemy".

 

[pitdogboy]

cool... I don't want one though.

 

[CTS]

are these just replicas or are they the ACTUAL pistols that were used?

 

[DocZoid]

They're the real deal. How much they were used is entirely speculative I would think, but given the condition, it doesn't seem like they sat in a crate the entire time. Who knows.

 

[volks_r_us]

I dont think I would buy a Gun that could have kill people , Bad Karma. Specially for all the wrong reasons

Where do I buy a Taurus for $400 ?

Some weird comments on these threads...
How many nazi rifles and pistols are out there and in collectors hands? Or Japanese rifles, even AKs.

And as far as a gun that has "killed people" well there must be a couple million Lee-Enfields in people's homes. I would gladly buy one of these if I have the dollars kicking around, unfortunately all my guns are currently needed for hunting or have sentimental value, gotta pay the debt.

Except the Nazis actually had a real army and were a force to be reckoned with. The Iraqi military, on the other hand, was a complete joke. Not sure what sort of historical value there can be in a pistol that was previously issued to some wimpy camel jockey policeman, but to each their own..

they had one of the largest armies in the world at their peak, they just werent prepared for a war against a fully modern army.
