Firearms technology advanced a good bit when everybody stopped caring what the cavalry had to say. "We have this amazing new technological advancement in small arms that will revolutionize infantry combat!" "Yeah but can the cavalry be bothered to get off their asses and use their other hand or change anything at all to improve their combat effectiveness?" I'm convinced photos of the day had cavalry officers sticking their hand in the waistcoat because they were too lazy to do anything other than hold reins in their off time.

@hailexiao2770 8 ай бұрын

Three things off the top of my head that we can blame cavalry for: * Revolver loading gates being on the wrong side for right handed shooters * French 1892 revolver cylinder swinging the wrong way for right handed shooters * 3 round Berthier magazine I'm honestly kinda surprised that the cavalry was okay with Colt/S&W cylinders swinging left.

The first time I heard of this pistol, it was in Shotgun News for sale in .45ACP. Some outfit had a batch they were selling and if I remember right they were so cheap that I decided not to get one for fear it would be a basket case. Now don't get me wrong later in my career as a gunsmith, I did buy some basket cases to rebuild and made a few bucks doing that, but not in this model now days I would probably buy one in .380 if offered for the right price but I don't get out and about much and my need for a handgun is diminishing more and more every year. I still have my bedside M1911A1 and my carry Astra 100 in .45 as well as a Taurus .22LR revolver that I picked up to teach my grandsons how to shoot handguns as well as the old Remington Target-master Jr that dad used to poach deer back when we lived on the farm.

I have always wondered about this pistol, back in the 70's when I used to study Shotgun News cover to cover, I used to wonder at the parts kits for the .45 joloar, never wondered enough to order one though. I like the modern Spanish pistols, I carried an Astra A100 in .45 for several years and still have the old gal in my closet next to my M1911A1 and Taurus .22LR Revolver. I used to have a Llama in .380 but let my partner on the PD buy it from me, I had made a flap holster for it out of an old combat boot from my days in the US Army, wish I had that little guy back again, it was a cool pistol, a mini M1911A1. Thanks for the great videos.

The approximate phonetic transliteration of "Chylewski" would be "Khylevskee", which I reckon you were close enough to, since I understood what you said right away, without the name being written on screen (although it might be because I've recently read a book on Polish pistol designs and Chylewski's patents were described there, along with the same patent drawings you've used in the video).

This pistol kinda reminds me of the Austro Hungarian Steyr Pieper Pistol M1909 (Episode 15) The reason why is because it also has the tipping barrel in accordence to the Jo Lo Ar Pistol showcased in today's video

@bfairfax8772 8 ай бұрын

Seems to me that the tip up barrel is for when you have two hands free to load and the lever is for when you only have one like while flying driving or riding a horse. So when you load it before you wind up one handed you add the extra round with the tipping barrel while in the holster then after the first mag is empty you can reload one handed while performing a one handed task.

@nerdycus6935 8 ай бұрын

Clearly, you're supposed to use the lever as a foregrip- keep the slide closed to ensure the pressure leaves the chamber, and then operate like a pump-action.

Maybe you could get some other Guntubers in on it. Like Henry from 9-holes for a Honk Kong sales pitch. Bloke on the Range for some Birmingham bickering. I’m gonna level with you guys.

Why in blowback pistols with a hammer, no one mentions the hammer being part of what delays the opening? It's always slide and recoil spring but nothing about overcoming the hammer spring an recocking it.

@TenaciousTrilobite 8 ай бұрын

The line between blowback and delayed blowback is muddy and somewhat arbitrary. The friction between the slide and the frame also delay opening. Using a stiffer recoil spring delays opening. All blowbacks are delayed at least a little.
