I'd like to see that pistol in 9mm. The low recoil of the cartridge would make the pistol both accurate and fun to shoot.

This was one of the later pistols and is a wonderful specimen. I wish someone would build an 8" 10mm Longslide and a 10" Longslide chambered for the 10mm Magnum. That would arrange for the capability to reach out to 120 yards to hunt either deer or hogs. Using the original Norma load (1400 fps...

I purchased it back in the day, and the pistol is worth over $2400.00! Can you believe it?

I hope you have a forged Trunion. That will give it the lifespan you're paying for.

I hope it turns out okay. I'm not certain they are of decent quality.

Forged or cast trunion?

Nice. I think the 3-round-burst function has its place. A good triple-tap often does a bad guy a world of good! Beautiful furniture on it.

I corrected myself.

The rifle does have a safe, semi, 3-round, and full-auto settings

Which model is that?

If I were a man of means, I'd like to have a hand-forged M2 (select-fire) version of the Carbine with a properly manufactured folding stock. A 12" barrel would make it amenable to clearing hallways or VietCong tunnels. (God help me, that takes me back to Johnny Semm's tales out of Southeast Asia).

John Semm (my friend, the retired gunsmith and Vietnam Veteran) knew Al Mar, and I have known about him for many years. After Al passed away, I wonder where that rifle went?

Six well-placed 5.56 rounds ruined a $*!thead's afternoon. Nicely played.

I was sworn in on 7/19/73. I remained stateside.

My retired gunsmith friend told me how the ball propellant fouled up the rifles in Southeast Asia. (He was there). I learned the story secondhand, but watched yet another explanation on YouTube. The ball propellant was a cluster**** that shouldn't have happened (the DOD was trying to go cheaper...

I knew this as a part of military history. Daddy told me stories. I never understood the "Frozen Cho Sin" stories completely until recently. Gummed-up M1 Carbine actions due to the extreme cold, Incomplete/poor propellant combustion (another cold-weather-induced problem). Improper use of M2...

A .30 Carbine Version would be effective, with less muzzle blast.

I was at the Public Outdoor Shooting Range in Oregon's Tillamook Forest. Some young'uns were shooting a 7" barreled AR-15. It was annoyingly loud. I saw the pistol as, more or less, pointless.

Not a real fan of the Krinkov (AK pistols). In 7.62 x 39, there's too much loss in velocity from a 9" barrel. Controllability can be an issue. Accuracy? What accuracy?

The 1911 is a close-range combat weapon. JMB would likely not have approved of putting optics on the pistol.
