I've had a Manurhin PP for a long time. I carried as a warm weather back up for many years. Finish is not so great anymore but is is still a very tight and sweet shooting piece. I always alternated solids and Winchester Silver Tips in the mags. Killed several groundhogs with it.

Hey Woodie, that pistol is a movie star! At the end of one of my favorite movies, "The Private Eyes" with Don Knotts and Tim Conway, the villian whips out one of those little pistols and apparently the blanks didn't work through it very good, because she had to manipulate the slide after every shot.

I always thought they were a neat looking little pistol though.

I have the Browning 1910 in 32acp. Great little pistol. It was made in 1928 or 1929 according to the sources I could find online. At some point it was professionally reblued (nice job) and fake ivory grips were installed. It's a spiffy little shooter.

When a young GI asked Humphrey Bogart, outside of a USO Club in Italy, where he could get one of those little Colts that fired 25 times without reloading, he replied with a smile "Ain't Hollywood great?!"

My little .32 Seecamp has a place in the lineup. Bought this one years ago when there was a 2 year wait for one. Bought 5 with sequenced serial numbers and kept one for myself. I basically got this one for free.

As irrelevant as the .32 ACP has become, there's no denying the utter-COOL factor of that pistol right there!!!

That has always been one of my favorite pocket pistols; what a neat design.

I picked up these three at an estate sales a year or so ago. They all shoot great.

Dad got this one during World War II and he passed it on to me. I have shot it a lot for fun. My daughter enjoys shooting it also and when she got her conceal carry permit she wanted to carry it. I bought her a Kahr CW9 instead.
