spured on by my ramble in the c&r interest thread:

I have

1942 garand

1942 mauser

chinese t53

yugo sks

 

zastava m57

 

my old man has (ie i get to play with often)

1943 garand

mosin

k31

 

nagant revolver

M57

Bulgarian Makarov

 

the 2 1911s (wifes and dads) i have acess to are both newer production, but his RRA is a milspec, so there are those around

 

anyone have some suggestions to add to the above? 

Walther P38, of if you don't want to drop THAT much money, a Walther P1, which is cosmetically similar, but with an aluminum frame, made postwar, and used by German police (also about half the cost).

 

Tokarevs are really nice

 

Naturally, a Luger is awesome, but you'll be dropping a pretty penny on it.

 

A webley or reich revolver, though ammo may be hard to get for he latter one

 

a Nambu is interesting, and was actually the inspiration for the Ruger Standard, which is largely an improved (and cheaper to produce) Nambu.

 

Or even a beretta M9. I really liked the one I shot. I prefer my Sig226, but the M9 was very high up there on my favorite handguns.

 

I think it sort of depends on what countries and conflicts you're interested in as well. I just named some rather random firearms. But with me personally, I'm only ever really interested in military weapons, or weapons derived from military weapons even if they're obscure. Which covers a broad swath of  firearms. So I can think of more recommendations, but what are your specific interests?

I love my CZ-82. Very accurate and functions like a dream. You already have the ammo for the Makarov.

Milsurp pistols I have in stock:

 

Polish (Radom) P35/VIS35

Walther P1

Polish P64

Polish P83

Romanian TT-33C Tokarev

 

Also have a Yugo M57 Tokarev and Bulgarian Makarov - but you have those already........

 

Also have ammo for all these in stock.

Look around for a sistema. Made to Colt specs on Colt machinery. Usually can be found around 600-700.

I was in the same position as you a few days ago. I settled on a Bulgarian Makarov hand select from classic firearms.

I have a CZ82, E. German Mak, and now this. 

 

If your F.I.L. is looking for a new Tokarev I have one for sale, plus ammo. Never shot AFAIK. Price is what I paid for it. 

ive been relaying all this to him, havent gotten a sence for what hes thinkin yet

 

newt, pm inbound 

AIM has the Italia Beretta 92-S now

Walther P38. Still not that expensive, but supply is drying out. WWII Browning High Power would be a good choice too.
