Awsome Video!! Is it possible to do a full disassembly of the model 8?
@MilsurpMikeChannel 10 ай бұрын
Not sure about a total disassembly... but I know this video will already need to be remade as a book released in the last month has made some of my information obsolete.

I had a walther model 8 with a cracked sear and would usually slam fire on its own. The sear would have just enough engagement with the firing pin to hold it back as the slide went forward. But as the slide would slam home, it would jar the sear and firing pin enough to have the firing pin drop on its own.

Sounds like you had the full semi-auto version.

Goebells pistol has been for sale on gunbroker for over $77,000

That was the fake ad I was referring to. Goebbels' pistols are actually in a Russian museum.

I wouldn't trust a .25 for self defense, but I would really like to get one of the pre-WWII pistols like the Browning, Colt, Mauser, etc. I just really like them for some reason.

Yea... that is definitely a tiny round... but still better than nothing. Centerfire make it way more reliable than .22lr.
