Those sights didn't bother me so much a number of years ago. Now they are pretty hard to use. In fact, most iron sights are getting hard for me to use anymore!

Perhaps not a great gun but historical, out of production & interesting.

Fabrique Nationale (Belgium) FN Model 1910 (Browning design, FN licensed. I think, Browning sold them in the USA as Model 1955). Don't quote me on that.

32 & 380 ACP, blow back, striker fired with grip, mag. & external safety. Thin & compact.

The pistol pictured is in a museum. Was the assassin's pistol that helped start WWI.

I could make a spectacle of myself on this thread, but I won't
Here's one I picked up a while back.
It's an old H&R Self Loading 32 made some time in the teens I think

That's a sweet one.

As for making a spectacle of yourself about old guns, I'm for it but I'm new here too.

We'll see what the moderators have to say but I'm thinking that Calvin the Magic Santa might deliver us an Old Gun picture sticky or whatever magic he does.

Nice post none the less.

I like the older small hand guns. I like the old long guns too but the little ones are easier to handle & store.

Don't worry about making a spectacle out of yourself Cornhusker. Some of us member are older than those guns!
