ordnance Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 One for the historic handgun fans. The first polymer striker fired production hand gun, not a Gock as a lot of people think, also being unusual in being a blow back action in 9MM luger parabellum. H&K VP07z 9mm 4.5" barrel, polymer frame, original box with paperwork and original test target. One magazine. The first polymer framed hand gun.

Scully Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Plug ugly pistol ( as is the Glock ) in not a good calibre ( just like the Glock ) but it’s an H&K, so will no doubt be a fine piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong section too, unless its only shown for discussion and not for sale Just for discussion, or it would be in the Trading post section. As for here, target shooting is enough justification / need for a handgun. Edited November 5, 2020 by ordnance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 People living on the mainland can still get a variation on their FAC to own one as long as they are a member of a club in NI and keep it there. Your FAC is issued by where you live not where you shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) It was bloomin' awful! Eighteen round magazine and a horrible horrible trigger pull and in the version with the buttstock that had selective capability to fire three round bursts lead to the conditiin being put on FACs issued at the time "the firearms to which this certificate relates shall not be capable of firing in bursts". Eventually the Tories altered the wording of s5 to make it prohibited by rewriting the section that pertained to fully automatic weapons to also catch burst fire weapons. There was one at Aylestone Gun Company in Leicester in the 1980s with the shoulder stock and nobody ever bought it or wanted to after handling it. Terrible sights also the foresight wasn't a blade as such but a 1/4" wide ramp with a void down the middle supposed to give the illusion of a foresight.

Scully Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Friend of mine once turned up at the range with his brand new H&K or SIG something or other, to show us the polygonal rifling ( so probably an H&K ) and told us he’d polished the sear a bit. Anyhow, it turned out he certainly had, as it almost emptied the magazine in a single burst, thereby rendering his pistol totally illegal and his warranty void! Happy days! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
