10 year old Jerry: that .32 is pretty powerful. Jerry now: shooting a Barrett .50 cal like an AR...

A Luger for a pack of smokes ... and I thought I'd missed out on some good deals.

This blows my mind.... A Nazi Proofed CZ 27 was also the first handgun I fired at damn near the same age (between 10 and 12 years old). My grandfather was at the battle of Anzio in Italy WWII and ended up being captured by the Nazis. He ended up killing one of his captors at the tail end of a prisoner march, disarmed the dead Nazi, then somehow returned to what remained of his unit. He died of a massive heart attack years later at the beginning of August, 1968. I hatched almost 8 years later in late July of 1976, and as I initially said about a decade after that I was introduced to this gun and was told that I'd be inheriting it. Now at 43 years old I still have this gun with the original holster and accompanying spare magazine-----I keep one of his dog tags on a chain from the trigger guard...... THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS JERRY!!!!!

I've never related more to Jerry then when he went to pull that ammo off the shelf and mentioned being given a hard time for how it's organized. It looks crazy but it's controlled chaos. I've got shelves that look the same way but it doesn't mean I don't know where everything is lol.

I really do appreciate Jerry's attention to safety. My local range doesn't require chamber flags and to my disdain, almost no one uses one. Even on his own private range he uses a chamber flag. That is respectable.

I think I would have brought back a bag full of guns and forgot about my clothes LOL.

For any future video, please grab whatever gun out of your safe, sit down and talk about it, then go shoot it. I will watch every time!

I can just see Little Jerry pulling that first trigger and saying "Get some!" The addiction was born...

The wife thinks "I have too much ammo"... then I showed her 'Jerry's wall... we don't argue about my ammo anymore. 😆

There's nothing cooler than Jerry Miculek wearing a Jerry Miculek shirt.

The fond memories come flooding back. The first pistol I ever shot was my dad’s 50s vintage Colt Woodsman. I taught my daughter to shoot with it. My granddaughter owns it now. ❤️

Interesting story! The history is what really makes that pistol a treasure! My first centerfire shot was a Smith & Wesson wheel gun in .32 long.

Dad's guns are always special. Great video thanks for sharing.

I'm so impressed at how fast you found that ammo in that shelf...

Love it. I just bought my first 1911, and I remember it was the very first pistol I ever fired at 11. Was a friends grandparents from WW1. A really 1911, made in 1911.

You just made my day. I have the same pistol that was passed down to me from my grandfather who told a similar story about bringing it home with him. That is a cherished memory.

Jerry's father: "Son, handguns aren't accurate" Jerry: "1,000 yard shot with 9mm handgun"

Anyone else surprised that Jerry wasn't born with a Pistol in one hand and a Timer in the other?

I appreciate the comment about your Dad saying that you cannot hit anything with a pistol. My Dad taught me to shoot in 1952 using a 22 pump that he had bought new in 1921. (I still have it and it shoots great.). I remember that he had a rifle and a shotgun for use around the farm. Every farmer we knew had a 22 rifle and a shotgun. Nobody owned a pistol. I can still recall the comments from guys who came home from WWII talking about the 1911. The consensus among them was that could not hit anything with one that was more than 6-8 feet away! When the river was up people would go to the river bridge and shoot at passing junk coming down the river. One day a guy asked me if I would like to shoot his pistol. That was 65 years ago but i can remember it vividly because I was crazy about guns, in a good way. The pistol was a Luger. He pointed to something that was maybe 30 yards away that was stuck on the riverbank. My first shot was high, the second was low but the third was dead center. I was about 12 at the time and it was years before I shot a handgun again because I couldn’t afford to buy one and I didn’t know anybody that owned one. My how things have changed.

This channel is Coronavirus proof ♥️🕊️💕

I really love hearing your old stories like this jerry, and the old school gun knowledge and stories are so fascinating too!! Love to see more of these

I love your stories jerry. Reminds me of how my father and grandfather used to tell me stories of their time back in the days. It brings me to a time period that i wish i could of experienced. Stay safe out there and much love

That's a nice little piece of History, thanks for sharing Jerry.

That's very interesting, I never would've guessed a CZ-27 was the first pistol you ever shot. I also inherited a CZ-27 as well, from my great uncle. Via the serial # it's a 1943 production & my great uncle told me he captured it in 1945 near Leipzig. He also kept the original black leather holster that the pistol was in when he captured it and I inherited that as well. The holster is marked "oub". The CZ-27 has always been one of my favorite pistols. Very reliable, accurate, and they hold 9+1 rounds which was a pretty decent capacity for pistols from that era. You rarely ever see them used in WW2 movies & such so they really aren't well known like the other pistols used by Germany in WW2 (Luger, P38, PPK), but ~475,000 were produced under German occupation so they saw fairly widespread use.

Thanks for sharing your Dad's pistol and your memories with us.

My Dad was in the Army Air Corp as well. B-17 Bombardier flying out of Thorpe Abbotts, England. He did 24 missions and then was shot down and spent the last year of WWII in a POW camp in Poland. Same camp as the "Great Escape". I always enjoy hearing about parents or grandparents that served in WWII. So much history, so many memories. I enjoy how genuine you come across in your videos, Jerry. I hope you keep "getting some" for a long time.

Thanks for sharing Jerry!! I moved to Indiana in 96 from Canada when I was 16. One of my dad's friends took us shooting for the first time ever!! My first pistol I shot was a Glock 19, the second was a Sig Sauer P226 9mm. Best day ever. Been loving firearms and the 2A ever since. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I am so impressed by Mr. Miculek's consistent focus on safety and teaching safe practices. I gave up my membership at a nearby range when it was inundated with first time pistol owners who seem to have learned firearms safety from the movies.

Love this. Anything with history attached to it is always interesting. Great video as always Jerry.

We need more story times with Jerry love more old shooting stories glad to see the chanal making a come back.

Love the nostalgia and the stories. Keep up the great work. Get some!

Jerry, thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing! How interesting to hear your fathers take on a pistol in light of what you’ve accomplished. Great stuff

Thanks for sharing Mr. Miculek !!

Your videos are the best part of the day. Thanks again Mr. Jerry

Love hearing from you Jerry! Cool story thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing that story with us Jerry

First firearm I fired ever - 12 gauge double barrel shotgun, I was 6 years old and we (I and my parents) went to village where my father's friend lived. That friend was hunter - and had that shotgun - and we went to field and shoot some bottles, and I also get possibility to fire few shots. First rifle I was shooting - was AK-74, during military course at my university - and I was around 18 years old. And first ever handgun - Dan Wesson PM7 (actually stainless 1911 in 45ACP), it was few month ago in Czech Republic (then I also shot Bushmaster M4, CZ 75, Glock 17). That's a little bit sad - at my country firearms policies are enforced in unconstitutional way - we have no laws regulating firearms - and only police regulations. For getting possibility to get long firearm like shotgun - you should go through a lot of bureaucracy and short guns - like pistols - are totally prohibited. Also there are some smoothbore 'traumatic' pistols - but only police-workers, military, journalists and politics can get them. I was been 'gun guy' from 13 years old - was always interested in gun history and mechanics - and now, being 28 years old guy, I planning to move to some country with normal gun laws to finally get right to have a gun. Thanks for video!

Legend laying some history on us, thanks Jerry! Remind me a lot of my dad and love seeing your videos

I had a good size orange tie wrap in my pistol. The R.O. told me, "Next time show-up with a legit chamber flag"? So the following week I put my pistol cable lock in the gun. He new I did it to upset him but couldn't say a thing! Best to ya',,,,!

Great story 👍 thanks for taking the time to share it. Rly enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing that. The first firearm I shot was my dad’s 1911 service pistol. It is still my favorite.

Beautiful piece of history. Thank you for sharing.

Come back to this video 1 year later because I was recently gifted a model 27. It is also a WWII brought back but missing a few parts. Finally found all the parts it needs and repaired it myself. It is a sweet shooting little thing. And using fiocchi .32acp, it is actually a pretty accurate gun. Shoots 2 inch groups at 7 yards on my first test fire is really not bad, considering I wasn't really aiming, just testing function to make sure it didn't blow up, LOL 😆.

Beautiful peice of history sir thank you for sharing that with us! Personally I love a little bit of history on old guns and then to see them still functional after all that time warms my heart. Great lill chunk of functional history that can be passed down again 1 day!!

Nice. My first pistol was a Colt Woodsman, and it's still one of my favorite guns to shoot.

Never knew about your cajun background. Makes sense now. Boudin n crayfish !!!! Thx Jerry.

Your newer content and more frequent uploads has been nice to see. Keep up the good work.

I know i speak for all of your other viewers, no matter how long or short these daily posts are, we love it!

Hi Jerry. Love the videos and info. I'm originally from Chackbay. You know, halfway between Thibodaux and Vacherie. Have a blessed day.

Love your videos, always good watches and learning 👌 thank you! GET SOME!!!!

This brought a smile to my face. Thank you.

Enjoyed every minute. Thanks for sharing.

"I got one. Get some" That made me laugh :) Greetings from Norway

I love my little 32 it's a original 1903 Colt that thing is just a nail driver with no recall whatsoever thank you Jerry keep them coming love you man

Jerry you are a legend. Look forward to all your videos.

Jerry droppin knowledge. Thank you sir!

Thanks Jerry for sharing

Great story Jerry! I have a very similar story myself as my first pistol shooting was with a FN (Browning) model 1922 that my Grandfather brought back from WW2, also chambered in .32 acp. The pistol still sits in my safe and although not worth much, is one of my most prized possessions. One night years ago when I was cleaning it I saw some paper crinkled up and stuffed down in the bottom of the holster. With some very careful extraction with tweezers my dad pulled out the Army transfer paper that my Gramps had signed in 1945, transferring the item into his possession. The pistol is heavily marked with Nazi insignia. As a young boy I was told the story that my Gramps traded a German prisoner water for the firearm. Once I got older I wondered why a prisoner would have a pistol...

My dad was in WWII. He went in at 14, and served honorably for 5 years. He brought home a lot of stories, but no "tools". Thanks for your story Jerry. God bless you. 🇺🇸👐

I love your videos, thanks and many greetings from home of the CZ.

That is awesome. My uncle brought one back from WW2 and gave it to my Dad. Trigger is very light and my Dad said that he "creased his pants leg" with it once. We never had any ammo for it while I was growing up. I played with it all the time. In the 8th grade, I took it to school to show my friends. That was in the mid 60's. I shudder to think of what would happen now if I'd been caught. Those were the days. I took a Trapdoor bayonet to school for show-and-tell. Teacher let me pass it up and down the rows of desks so all of the students could handle it. No one was injured. Anyway, the CZ-27 was stolen out of my car one day when I was about 16 or 17. I have no idea why I had it in my car. So when I became a collector of interesting firearms, a CZ-27 was one of my priorities. Found one at Ramkota gunshow in Sioux Falls in 1998. Turns out it is one of my many occupation produced WW2 German used pieces. Beretta 1934 and 1935 and Radom 1935 were all made during German occupation in their home countries.

Thanks for sharing this great family heirloom. My Dad got a Beretta 35 for a carton of smokes. I really love these milsurp CZ’s. Good stuff!👍🏼

12yo shot my first hand gun... Belgium Browning 9mm, that was 50 years ago. My dad passed it to me and I still shoot it once and awhile. Fell in love with it back then that continues today.

Jerry goes right to the ammo he wanted, out of 10,000 other boxes. What a guy!

Jerry Great video. Excellent story about your father that shows you what his generation did to fight and sacrifice for all of us. Be safe and stay healthy.

I love his love for guns and how he educated me. Get some, you truly are amazing.

This is one of the best videos Jerry

Great story. I’d love to hear more like these.

Always a pleasure Sir, to be invited into your world. Even for just one story, and two shots. Howdy from Nevada, Jerry.

Thanks ol Jer. Great video idea.

I feel those great days slipping away...great men and women doing great things. I hope we recover.

Very Cool Pistol. Thanks for showing it , Mr. Miculek !!!!!!!!!!!!

My kids all shot great-grandpas, walther model 4, 32 acp, very proud of the story behind how he brought it home, get some!

Great story Jerry! Thanks for sharing it. I have my dad’s old H&R .32 S&WL revolver. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Very interesting video. I really like the history of that pistol that your father brought back from WWII. Your children and grandchildren will have something very historic to pass down to their posterity.

Love it! Thanks Jerry 👍

I'm so glad you're making daily videos Keep the great content

Wall of Shame, not. More like a wizard finding your wand.

Given the opportunity to spend the day hanging out with ANYONE of my choice, I would easily choose Jerry Miculek!!!

I love Your Show Mr . Jerry Miculek . Dużo Zdrowia !!!!

Jerry is such a cool guy. I bet he is a lot of fun to hang out with.

Very cool. I have my first shot pistol. An original BearCat my dad purchased new when I was born and started on it when I was 3-4. That purchase was made a few years ago, 1969 and both my kids started on it as well. Hopefully someday I’ll have grandkids who will get to teach their grandkids the ropes on it as well.

When I was finally old enough to buy a handgun in 1970, I bought a 69C Browning HiPower for about the price of 359 packs of smokes - they were about 47¢ a pack back then. It's seen a lot of use, and remains my pride & joy today.

Jerry Swoleculek! Looking ripped man! Love these stories!

Cool stories and memories, fantastic souvenir.

My grandfather was in the Army Air Corp and brought home a Beretta 1934. He traded a carton of Lucky Strikes for it from a captured Italian officer. I taught myself how to field strip it as a young teen and shot it many times. It’s currently in a museum in Aliceville, Alabama. He grew up there, and it just happened to be a German POW camp.

Love that part of the country Jerry, my little sister and her husband lived in Bayou La Batre for quite some time. After dad died mom sent my young brother down there to settle him down, lol didn't work, fellow gunner here that loves those old ones, keep up the good work.

EXACTLY....a Firearm is a Tool. Thank you for sharing about the first pistol you fired......and for all of your other videos! Get Some!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for sharing :) that was great and to hear the history of it and memories Cheers Jerry Arohanui brother :)

Great stories, great guy and amazing shooter!

Jerry watching your video from Ireland and love your ammo shelf but more important is the way you think safety first.

I've heard a lot of history of World War 2 fire arms, but have never heard of the "Duffel bag cut". I had always wondered how guys acquired bring home guns. Most of the stories I have heard were people sneaking them home. Thank you sir!

Very cool video, love the history lesson!!

Nice!!! My first was, like for many here in the Czech republic, CZ75 but these little model 27 are still around and many guys I had them like a cheap first gun. The background "wall of shame" is my dream. :)

My first was a Dirty Harry S&W 44 mag...a friend's first handgun purchase...we were both 21yrs old..in Jersey. It jump started my gun fun...

Really cool Jerry, thanks for sharing :)

What a nifty little gun with alot of history. The first centerfire handgun that I shot was a Canadian Hi Power on the tailgate of my granddad's old Ford, good times indeed 😊

Long time fan sir! Thanks !

Really liking these history episodes
