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, â??It fired the 7.65mm Borchardt cartridge that was interchangeable with the later 7.63mm Mauser cartridge.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
