Sauer & Sohn after a five-year production hiatus. Accordingly, I had mixed feelings upon receiving the news of its 2010 revival by J.P. I am one of many shooters, for whom the Swiss military SIG P49 autopistol along with its P210 commercial counterpart represent the epitome of Browning’s legacy. 266ff Ģ9429: Swiss Ordnance trigger link regulator for Parabellum pistols,įor adjusting the pressure point by bending an annealed trigger lever Ģ9430: front sight pusher for Swiss Parabellum pistols See Horst Rutsch, Faustfeuerwaffen der Eidgenossen, pp. National Match model with a 200mm pencil barrel, National Match model with a 170mm heavy barrel andĢ9428: Swiss Ordnance Parabellum 29, 7.65 Para, SN 65721, Most self-loading pistols inherited basic features pioneered by his designs, while the Luger ended up a fascinating curiosity.Ģ9427: Swiss Ordnance Parabellum 29, 7.65 Para, SN 59951, In the long run, Browning’s commonsensical approach prevailed. 317162, it operates like a miniature cannon breech, lending immense strength to the self-loading pistol mechanism at the expense of ultimately prohibitive cost and fickleness of precision fitting. 571260 embodies another kind of ingenuity.
