Analysis

This early 20th-century semi-automatic pistol in .32 Auto caliber offers a unique blend of historical design and practical functionality. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of its era, providing consistent performance at short to medium ranges. The ergonomics are surprisingly intuitive, with a grip that fits well in most hands, facilitating a natural point of aim. Reliability is generally solid, though it benefits from regular cleaning to prevent malfunctions due to its older design. On the downside, maintenance can be challenging, as replacement parts are scarce and often require specialized knowledge to source or install. The trigger pull is notably smooth, with a crisp break that aids precision, while the felt recoil is minimal, making it manageable for shooters of varying experience levels. However, its suitability may be limited for those seeking a modern defensive tool due to the dated cartridge and design constraints.

Great little semi auto
By lakelizard on 16 Jan 2021
I got this gun from my uncle back in the 70s, he bought new in the box from Sears back in the mid twenties. He carried it while in the merchant marines, both himself and the pistol survived two U-boat attacks. I have shot the gun several times and it still makes a tight group at 25 yards. I have tried to find parts for it with no luck, the very few pistols I did find were in worse shape. Every once and awhile, I take her out and wipe her down while reminiscing about the times spent with my Uncle, Great Man,Great Gun !
