OOKay, rather a well known firearm, the Belgium also made a slew of these genre . As a young kid, the first time I saw the revolver and the name, I thought it meant " for Apache Indian fighting in the old west " , it was only later that I learned the term was for young French gangbangers.

I like it! Brutal and multi-talented at drawing blood, but outdated.

it can be modified.. someone should do it... add a 1 inch barrel, use better (stronger, lighter) allows and maybe for aiming, add a small red laser light...

if the Swiss have their way, they'll also add a spoon and screwdriver

and if the Japanese update this, it'll flush your toilet and tell you all your medicle history as well

would today's laws prevent something like this from being manufactured?

I can't help but think of the media reaction if someone were to be caught carrying an Apache revolver today. Just imagine the insane headlines about a "deadly new weapon unleashed on our streets" and "NRA weapon of mass destruction must be banned and owners executed."

James K, I kind of want to add brass knuckles to one of my pistols. I think the CZ-75 would be w good candidate.

Get an X frame with a 10 inch barrel and just smack the BG with it.

Seriously, in most states it is possible to get a license to carry a gun, but "knucks" are mostly totally illegal, even for cops, so not a good idea to carry them, even on an antique gun.

I wonder if I should attempt to add knuckles to the list of items I am trying to have added to Ohio's carry allowances. Never thought of them before.

James K: Seriously, Knuckles are illegal in many places??

In my country knuckles aren't illegal

but getting a Gun license is a tough and looooong procedure! (unless are you very connected and/or willing to $$$$)

It needs a tactical rail and a flashlight.

Hi, Hdaackda,

In some states/cities, even getting a license to own a gun can involve payoffs or contributions to "campaign funds", but in most states a license to carry is either not needed or is relatively easy to get.

But the laws against carrying deadly or dangerous weapons usually list prohibited items, like knives with blades over 3 inches (8 cm) and knuckles, and there is no provision for a permit or license to carry - they are simply illegal to carry. Of course, criminals pay no attention whatever to those laws; they carry and use whatever they want and are rarely bothered unless or until they actually injure someone.
