The "new Krieghoff"

Vlim · 02-16-2010, 09:14 AM

My contact at Krieghoff denied the involvement of the gun company mentioned in the article. This is getting most interesting.

Jerry, IIRC a German gun magazine did a shooting test with one of the prototype guns when they first appeared.

Apart from the hefty price tag, I still think Krieghoff deserves credit for kicking the Parabellum design into the 21st century. This enables us to say that the pistol we all love has been in production on and off for over 100 years!

If I had the budget, there would be one of these in my safe, no doubt about it, but then again I'm a sucker for post war stuff

Hi Gerben, I would love to have any Krieghoff, old or new, but I question their $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 price tag.... I think that their cost would be less then a third of that number, if even that..... Gotta factor in $100.00 dollars an hour engineers and machinest to be fair.....

... best to all, til...lat'r...GT
