Hello,
Sorry for the late response.
I`m a bit surprised(in plus) hearing that the Schwarzlose`s Standart Pistole is/was introduced a year earlier than I thought
"Three pistols I have always wanted to own but probably never will......."
Oh my!If I can share my wishes, the 3 pre-1908 pistols that I`d love to own would be:
1)Schwarzlose Standart Pistole Modell 1896(
)
2)Colt M 1902 *
3)FN M 1903*
*I think both of them could be adapted to shoot 9x19mm ammo although the 1903 would require short OAL & mild pressure loads IMO.
"Compared to the Borchardt and the C96, the M96 Schwarzlose was a race car"
Well said!!!
I wholeheartedly agree
RKBA!
