What early self loading pistols would you like to see modern reproductions of?
>>30557426
Borchardt C93, with shoulder stock
Those Steyr pistols were still quite affordable last time I looked.
Mars
Mauser C06/08
Bergmann-Bayard 1910/21
Webley .455 Auto
The Simson Suhl 9mm prototype
>>30557993
Nice thought but .455 is rimmed, they had to produce special rimless stuff to avoid rimlock

I never understood why the magazine Mausers never became a thing instead of the stripper clip ones.

The only right answer
+ all the fixings to turn it into a carbine
>>30562042
Fuck yes
>>30557588
This oh god yes. Especially in 10mm Auto and/or .50AE (if the design could even handle it).
>>30562139
The design might but your hand wouldn't, I think due to its opertation it already had excessive recoil.
>>30562156
Muzzle flip, sure, but the action, long recoil, by design tends to lower felt recoil.

>>30562156
Also it was heavy as shit.

>"but soldiers will lose them!"
That's my guess at least. That was one of the factors that made the MLE/SMLE kinda controversial for its time
>>30562169
it had short recoil
>>30560190
Reliability (both perceived and actual) and cost.

Ive shot the c96... Its not a good pistol by any means really.... Though its cool as hell;)
>>30560190
Detachable pistol magazines were still a very new thing when the C-96 was designed. They were very costly to produce, it was widely assumed they would be lost and leave the weapon unusable, and good ol' fashioned old blood resistance to new things.

>>30562280
No worries

Hence ".455 Auto" and rimless rounds in pic related
Jesus so many of these are hideous. Only the Mauser's aren't disgusting.
