Black Widow Tack Driver
 

Just got back from the range and my recently aquired byf 41 performed flawlessly grouping 1 1/2" at 10 yards and within the 8 ring at 25 yards (5 rounds). What a joy to shoot! mm

My girlfriends S/42 1936 with a very very pitted bore shoots with swedish subgun ammo 2" groups at 25 meters.

THe bore is so pitted that you can't see any difference betwen groves and lands.


My own gun with a heavy custombarrel shoots within an 1" at 25 meters, both with jacketed and lead bullets.


In my opinion the Luger pistol and the SIG P210 pistols are the most accurate pistols ever massproduced.

What makes a Luger a "Black Widow" ?

Re: Black Widow Tack Driver
 

Typically a 41 or a 42 dated chamber Mauser toggle code byf with black plastic grips (on about 20% of them) This was simply a marketing tactic employed and the phase was coined by Ralph Shattuck (he tells me) It really worked. These guns have a black salt blued finish, black grips, and all blued (black color) small parts (trigger, safety lever, take down lever. Some of the 1940 vintage (a very few) and 41/42 Lugers had them also! But primiarly the byfs with black grips are a "Black Widow" This was an American invention and had German basis at all! German collectors say "Huh?" sometimes whne you mention the term! Thor

Meant to say "had NO German basis" Just a black Luger!
