Hi Folks,

Not a bad article as gun rag articles go. The only error I saw with possible safety implications was the comment regarding the Borchardt pistol that, Ã¢??It fired the 7.65mm Borchardt cartridge that was interchangeable with the later 7.63mm Mauser cartridge.Ã¢?Â The 7.65 Borchardt and 7.63 Mauser cartridges are not interchangeable. Firing a 7.63 Mauser cartridge in a Borchardt pistol would have a lot in common with firing a .357 Magnum cartridge in a revolver chambered for the .38 Special.

Best regards,

Kyrie
