The Chap surprised the bloke by pulling a 1920s Ortgies from his pocket. The interesting thing about this pistol is the grip safety, which is really a grip-actuated manual safety, and stays disengaged once given a good squeeze.
Unfortunately, despite the great pointability of the piece, the accuracy was disappointing (though adequate), largely due to a horrrific trigger.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
