Unquestionably the MAS 45. Built as a military trainer by the French on captured Mauser factory equipment.

Back in the 80's, even into the 90's, you could buy one unfired, still in the crate and covered in cosmoline for less than a hundred bucks. Today I think people are more aware of just how good they are.

I've had four or five of them throughout my life and every one has been a shooter. Like the dumbass I am I sold them. Wish I had kept at least one. Next time I find one at a decent price you can bet I'll hold on to it...

On an unrelated note, anyone else having trouble posting on this site? I find I have to correct my posts multiple times because it never comes out the way I type them. It's like it can't keep up or auto spells words that I don't want. Sometimes when I backspace it wipes out the entire message. Weird, this the only site that it happens on.
