Paging Tamara, why did you not tell me about BRNO?

[Hambo]

The 7.5 FK BRNO that is. This thing looks like the love child of a CZ75 and a 1905 Steyr Mannlicher using appropriately bastardized C96 ammo. All the hyperventilating copy about muzzle energy aside, I find it kind of cool in a retro-snowflake sort of way. When will you be testing one?

"...an oversized cylindrical dust cover extending below the barrel to house a sliding counterweight whose purpose is to arrest felt recoil and muzzle rise."

Yikes.

Or you could buy a Tanfoglio Stock in 10mm. Same looks, lower price, equal durability and you still get Hipster Ammo status.

After checking out the video linked at the link, I am expecting to see a new field trial thread from George soon.

Interesting ballistics. With a 20" barrel and a good Barnes bullet, it might make a sweet little brush cartridge for deer.

But then it might not need the sliding counterweight and who wants a 7.5 without a sliding counterweight?

I stand corrected. I won't let it happen again.

The anticipated $5K pricetag certainly moves it into stratospheric hipster territory. Better invest in absinthe futures.

Then again, it could make a good companion piece to a Cabot meteorite 1911....

Best, Jon

Operators (!) are standing by to take your gun hipster order now!

Actually all true Operators are lining up to buy one of these. I figure Instructor Zero will get one of the first ones.

There's a man who gets the whole idea. How could I forget the sliding counterweight? Perhaps it's got some AEK-971 in the woodpile.

With the extra mechanical jiggery-pokery and the bottleneck cartridge, what right-thinking gun nut doesn't immediately think of this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Automatic_Pistol)?

Put one with your Webley - Fosbery Revolver and your Zardoz VHS tape.

It was a Fosbery in that movie? I thought it was just a plain jane Webley.

Webleys, Charlotte Rampling and Beethoven's 7th, that was enough to make the movie palatable.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen! Oh, wait...

There is officially no justice in this universe if Tam dosen't get to take the BRNO private jet to go test fire this thing. She should probably take Chuck Taylor and try the gun on ASAA standards. I promise to buy a copy of combat handgunnery 5th edition if this happens. I'm sure the write up will be awesome, but the editor will retitle it Bride of Crunchenticker.
