My .32 ACP & .380 ACP Obsession Continues

[DoggyDaddy]

Looks good DD! Looks just like mine except for the bone grips, I have the original. Mine is missing the lanyard loop also.

Can't wait to try her out! I was surprised at how big it is. It's almost the size of a 1911. Definitely not a pocket gun!

It is. I'd never even heard of them until a few weeks ago when I saw one posted on a C&R facebook page.

DD, mine has the same System Browning slide markings, does yours have the TT HK marking on the frame above the back strap?

Guess I still harbor some doubt after you suggested I use honey as a bear/insect repellent.. So many claws, such big teeth, all that buzzing....

Anywho.. heck it looks like the slide is longer than your 1911.. All that steel to move around a 380 .. Will be neat to see if that pistol is bigger than the cz38.

Yep, it does.

From what I remember of your CZ38, I think it's probably similar in size. As for honey as a bear/insect repellent, I was just testing P.T. Barnum's theory. Apparently he was right!

Nice little article on your Pistol DD.. I do love the version with the Shoulder stock..

Something the article does is points out a lot of the similarities of the 1907 to the 1911.
You seemed to have overlooked that little fact. The holsters are pretty Boss also.

From a couple things I have read it would not take alot to convert you pistol back to 9mm long..

You know that would be fun to convert it back as long as you do not die and let some poor SOB find it and think its 380 (like what is written on the side of the pistol).

Thanks for the link! I think I had totally overlooked the fact that the 1907 is basically the same gun as the FN 1903, and as he pointed out, is also similar to the Tokarev pistol.

Not going to convert it back to 9mm long. That sounds like too much work (making brass) and/or expense (buying the ammo, if I could find it). At any rate, I'm getting behind in shooting my pistols. I've now got the CZ27, the Astra (Ruby) and now this one that need shot.

Do not know which is more the bottomless pit those 32/380 European pistols or Mausers..

At least the pistols take up less room.

According to these guys (It's subtitled, so watch when you feel like reading ), TT stood for Thor Thorsen or Thorson - an inspector at the plant that made them.

[red_zr24x4]

Yeah, both (TT HK) are inspectors marks. Either the link indy posted or the link I sent you says that.
You did see the yellow box in my link, right? There's like 4 pages to it.

I didn't see it. Went back and looked and still no seeing it red. Unless I'm just blind this morning.

As for the first guy, I thought he was a little harsh, but I do agree it's not the most ergonomic grip in the world for sure. The trigger is fairly stout and a little mushy, so I can't really disagree with him there, but it's not horrible.

I like the shoulder stock!

Which do you like holding better the 1903/07 or the CZ38 (with Double action only)..
