Shot my Borchardt replica today!

In my relatively short time in the forum, Ron was the only one I was aware of by name. I'm sure the Borchardt 'party' was, indeed, a good time! As the price of an original seems to become astronomical, I'm guessing fewer and fewer will risk firing one. Since I've never seen one, or wrapped my hands around one.....let alone, shot one, I have only what you guys 'tell' me regarding how they handle. Nevertheless, the build has been an adventure. Kind of like being Herr Borchardt. I know a whole bunch of ways that DON'T work! Didn't Edison say that about the lightbulb? I have several stocked pistols also, don't shoot this stuff much. Look at 'em, clean them, handle them, wrap them up, lock 'em up............
