A few Mauser C96 examples

I shoot a prewar commercial in a Cowboy Action Shooting club in the Turn-of-the-Centory class on a somewhat frequent basis. The gun works welll, but reloads are very slow compared to magazine changes on a 1911 or Luger. Otherwise, the gun runs very well, and target acquisition and recovery are fast in the 7.65mm caliber.

It is interesteing to experience the "combat" side of shooting this design, you see how much of an advantage removable magazines are.
