Ok - I sort of knew the answer but looked it up to see if the gun was what I thought it was.
I was right, but, since I feel I cheated I'll let someone else answer that knows the answer dead cold. |

I'm going to go with Little Tom. The PP was the first of the Wathers, in 1929? But I think the Little Tom was before that. A friend of mine has one. I think 1924-1925, but I am just guessing.

ooooh make sense BRM. I was racking my brain ...mateba, webley fosbery, some weird stuff haha
ps. the semi auto double action was Mannlicher 1894, in the literal DA sense. Wiener Little Tom was the earliest design that was closest to modern DA semis. TRUE OR FALSE This particular gun was named "Einhand", "one hand" in German, because it features a slide mechanism that allows for one-handed cocking and loading.

True.
The front of the trigger guard is shaped like a trigger. When pulled with the trigger finger it operates the slide. Q. What was John Brownings first semi automatic firearm design? |

CZ guns often have the letters "VZ" in front of their numerical designation. What does it stand for?

@TxFlyFish- Vz is short for "Vzor" or model.
What is the only factory made revolver that can effectively use a suppressor? |
