Great videos guys. The Radom was the last of the Calvary pistols.

I didn't realize the Hi Power and FAL designer was also the 240 designer. Actually, I didn't know the Hi Power guy and the FAL guy were the same until after I owned both.

They arent for fal and hi power seeing as it was 95% done minus the mag and production details and hashing out dimensions(Dieudonnés job)

Awesome stuff dudes!!! Keep it coming, you need to get some advertising or something you deserve way more views and likes!

Why so few views! It's actually a great video! Love seeing how these old weapons works eventhough I'm not much of a gun person.

Actually the first double stack pistol is a Savage 1907 in .32 ACP , i saw their commercial and they called it "10 shot quick" which is a first double stack magazine pistol anyway.

I carry a Savage models 1907 the capacity of 10 Rounds plus 1. 32 ACP & mine was made in 1910 it's been around before World War 2 started & don't let us forget the 380 and the 45 models.

The germans after occuping Norway also made their own version of the 1911 which the Norwegian arms company Kongsberg made on a license from colt at the time, they took over the factories and made their own version of it. Those are really rare and not surprised they dont have them there but its the only 1911 with a german eagle on them I think.

i had one many years ago with german eagle the story was that a guy traded it for a bottle of snaps when the german left denmark

The Germans also "appropriated" Skoda weapons after Hitler carved up Czechoslovakia in 1938.

Fascinating

Part 3 !

I heard the Poles also had a version of the BAR rifle that had a pistol grip built on it, they may have been influenced by the Belgians who had something different but it was a Browning design all the same.

+schizoidboy Yup, we did. The history behind it is in fact quite ridiculous. In 1927 the Polish military wanted to have a light and portable machine gun chambered for the 8mm Mauser cartridge. Then the Belgians came in and offered us "their" FN BAR's which were... original M1918 Brownings. Why? Because the Belgians were just buying U.S. made rifles at a lower price instead of buying the license! Thus the Belgians wanted to sell us a gun that they could neither produce of get profits from it. Eventually, in 1928 they finally bought the license (or at least I heard they did...), rechambered it into 8mm Mauser, added a pistol grip, bipod, extended front grip and spyhole sight and finally sold it to us (Poland) as the rkm 7,92 wz. 1928 (pol. hand machine gun (in) 7,92 (mm) mark 1928). 23.000 were made.

Agreed, Ken is an Encyclopedia of guns. Hate to take him gun shopping, we'd never get out of there. I could listen to him a lecture all day (million-dollar idea, $10 online lecture series). Want to make his head explode, ask him for the most influential guns of all time, thinking Colt Revolver (revolver), Browning Highpower, or 1911 (pistol), Mauser (Bolt-action rifles), M1 Garand (semi-autos).

I think it's safe to say that the high power mag influence every _metal_ handgun magazine that came after, (and you can definitely see it in things like the Beretta 92, the P226, the CZ 75, etc) but the Glock magazine is definitely an entirely different animal with an entirely different shape and construction

Vis 35 9mm Parabellum is nice pistol and much powerfull 👌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

i had a p38 with match numbers but with a deadly fail when you have used all the ammo the gun Lock in open posi then you insert a mag and flip the Lock then the gun fired

Isn't the M9 heavily influenced by the P38?

In reality the true,first heavly influencied handgun derivated from the Walther P38 was the Beretta M52.If you get a closer look to the internals you will see a lot of resemblaces to the P38 :3

I was thinking the P08 was influenced by the Swiss 06/24 (.30 cal?). Don't know where but there is a vid of versions of Luger - and one discharged from the side. Wish I could find it.

@@kastian17 Would that be the Beretta 95?

LVA has the best vids

What about the Mauser HSc, PPK? and then the occupied/otherwise Nazi accepted guns like the CZ27 and CZ38/39, Sacm, Browning 1922, Sauer 38, Astra 600, Star model B, Armand Garvage 7.65, and FEM m37

How come the Star Model B wasn't considered for this list? It is another 1911 copy, 8 shot, 9mm pistol built in Spain and sold to Germany during WW2 for reserve/police use.

That particular one is quite rare. One of the rarest is the Norwegian 1911

The radom came in three grades. G 1 excellent parts blueing etc. G 2 minor changes machining marks evident quality much less. G 3 parts changed for simplicity. Many machining marks. A grade 3 might be more difficult to find today. Used to have them all. Great vids. Look up col Whittington's book pistols of the nsdap. The Bible of German pistols of the period.

38 normaly mean 9mm but the 38 was made in 22cal to and stil named 38

The FN Browning 9mm high-power was based on an existing FN mag. The mag was not originally made for the Browning. Get your facts right.

Cavalry vice Calvary Apparently non Veterans.

The nazi's wanted to go to the polish armories and Radom to get more pistols :P

+Joshua Lansell-Kenny Well yes, every firearm was an asset when it comes down to those times, especially a more up to date pistol like that one.

ok..lets get this straight..ITS NOT CALVARY....IT CAVALRY....how about a lesson in pronunciation.
