Just thought I would start a post regarding some of the older favourite guns that people love.
I have my new favourite. Lets see yours.
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO OWN IT....SO FEEL FREE TO PILLAGE THE INTERNET FOR PICS
So whether it belonged to one of your buddies and you tried it.....or something once upon a time you had, but let sadly go.....
Lets see your favourite OLD GIRL.
The only conditon of posting is that you have fired it.....and love it.
1940 FB. POLISH RADOM 9mm
For those of you who haven't tried one of these yet....I'll tell you this much.
That silly looking "wedge" of a grip is one of the most comfortable designs that I have yet to experience in small arms shooting.
Something about the way it falls into your hand and is almost cradled by your palm that invites a smile before you ever even pull the trigger.
It points effortlessly on target given the grip angle in a way that I personally believe is even better than a 1911 platform.
to make matters even more surprising; that grip somehow translates into recoil impulse being absorbed by the frame of the gun in a way that will leave you speechless.
the sights are a bit tough to see in certain lighting conditions.....but this thing is rock solid reliable and freakishly accurate for something over 70 years old.
They are accurate and insanely reliable shooters, in addition to being Prized by collectors they are considered the very best pistol to ever be developed during WW2
They have come up from time to time and I had always passed on them.....don't be fooled.
I can tell you that it only took a magazine to make me a believer in the RADOM phenomenon.
If you see one going off next to you at the range one day and think you recognize this old girl.....don't pass on trying her if someone offers.
You won't regret it.
The Polish among you have something to be very proud of creating.
