Predating most other high-capacity pistols by as much as half a century, the Browning Hi Power was the original "wonder nine." John Browning designed its bones at the request of the French military, but he passed away in 1926, just a year before the U.S. Though the earlier Mauser pocket models were extremely well-made, cleverly designed and popular in their day, being single-action and a bit boxy they were perceived to be old-technology. When Walther introduced its svelte Polizeipistole and Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell double-action pocket pistols in 19, Mauser realized that it might be a good idea to think about retiring its own serviceable, but increasingly hoary, line of 1910/1914/1934 6.35 mm (.25 ACP) and 7.65 mm (.32 ACP) repeaters.

The popular shooting rifle in 5.45×39 caliber that grew into every shooters comfort has come to a temporary halt.Īlthough the SLR-104FR Series is a joy in the firearms marketplace, it is not yet known to be a "Collector's Item." This might change quickly as orders are being turned away and only a few distributors (MSR Distribution and Bill Hicks) have a handful of them ready to ship. Production ends for the popular shooting rifle, SLR-104FR Series His name was Richardson, and his idea is best known as the Philippine Guerrilla Gun. One red-blooded American even ran into an interesting one while doing a little Wolverines-style combat in the Philippines and thought it would catch on back home once the smoke cleared. Richardson Industries M5 Philippine guerrilla gun: A gun to get a gunĪmericans have long been a fan of shotguns, pumps, semi-autos, over and unders you name it, we love 'em. You make what you're already making and ship as many as you make. In their defense - my late father was a European-theater combat vet, and I grasp the irony of my defending the Germans - when the boss man jumps the gun and starts the war ahead of schedule, there is no time to retool to a common standard. It is fashionable in some circles to scorn the Germans in World War II for their near-chaotic firearms procurement system. Hopefully Alan or Peter will chime in and can give you a bit better accurate figures.WWII pocket pistols: J.P.

Any example is a great example to own, as the are unique and are a rare find. If I had to guess.I would say that approx 20 to 25 thousand HSc's had the ATP put on them.

I do not know exact figures.(Alan and Peter have alot of documentation on the HSc and know).But, roughly 10000 were produced with the small E/655 before it was replaced by a tad bit bigger stamp (also E/655). the Army examples to follow had the small type E/655 stamp on triggerguard area and had the ATP on the rear tang.

The LGS type HSc was produced up to serial number 701250. I gleaned this information from Stills site on one of my ATP HSC's , I understand it is more likely about 20000 were produced, altogether. You have the small waffen 655 and the the larger waffen 655. I believe the Army Test Eagle, (ATP) production is much greater then what is being conveyed here.
