Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Intervention - Deutsch Werke 6.35mm

A guy has a Deutsch Werke 6.35mm pistol he wants to sell - cheap.

Any other day I would say I don't need a 25ACP, but when my 2nd cousin died and my uncle gave me all his stuff, there was a bunch of 25acp ammo in there that I have sitting.

Talk me into or out of it....

What's retail on these things in about 80% condition.

I just re-read my own post, and yes, it sure sounds like I would buy a gun to use on-hand ammo - as opposed to selling off ammo I had no gun for.

Is that bat-schit crazy or what?

sounds like a pistol looney

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

I've got a bunch of crap ammo and so I need to buy a crap pistol to shoot my crap ammo.

Well, when you say it like that....

I'll bring you some 64 octane gas if you want a reason to go buy a Pinto.

You could customize it!

may have to ditch the 1911 to go to this platform

I almost coughed an almond through my nose.

The local reloading store has a box of 35gr .251 Speer Gold Dots. I've been tempted to buy them, just to see the look on the store owner's face.

It might be fun trying to find the best powder charge between 1.1 and 1.2 grains

I heard those gold dots will stop a charging chipmunk dead in its tracks.

Actually, your logic makes perfect sense to me. I have picked up a few pieces of brass off the ground, and then decided I needed a new gun to go with them.

nice to read a well presented reasonable opinion as opposed to adeptly slung flippant remarks

There is one on gunbroker.com right now with a starting price of $400.

400?!?

Not looking anywhere close to that.

i have quite a few boxes of ammo in my locker awaiting the purchase of a gun. lets see, off hand i can remember

280 rem
32/20
284 win
8mm mauser

and i'm sure i have more.

some i've already done that with are 32 remington, 450 marlin (10 boxes at $14.99/bx) and 350 mag.

so yes, go buy that gun so your karma is not all screwed up.

The difference is that a .280 and .284 are actually worth owning and shooting. You're planning on buying a new 4x4 with mud grips and a yeti cooler in the bed.

RWE is shopping for a 1979 Datsun with "Ain't Skeered" on the back window in mailbox letters.

with that long(er) barrel & sight radius though, it should really stretch the abilities of the cartridge...compared to say, a Colt Vest Pocket or a baby Browning.

Once I shoot off the factory ammo, I'll set to modifying the platform.

I'm seeing a new cartridge, along the lines of the 357 sig - a 25ACP necked down to 17.

I'm going to call it the 25Bluedreaux, and it will be uber.

How cheap?
