One of the most comfortable 9mm automatics I have ever held. Naturally pointing and a pleasure to shoot. I have two of them. Size, weight and aesthetics are just about perfect.
Believe it or not, I met the inventor; Henning Rud Anderson. A fascinating and brilliant individual. He is close friends with my good friend who is a heart surgeon. It doesn’t answer the OP’s question though, as I do not have a TAVR valve.
Glad you are here. I’m a big fan of Beretta O/U shotguns and Uberti Single Action Army’s (Colt clones). Where in Italy do you reside? I am in Central New York State.
This outstanding factory fresh .357 was a gift from my wife. She enlisted the help of a close friend who deals in high end doubles (and has a keen eye for these things).
I really think the second gen guns are some of the best to collect and own. My reasoning is as follows…
1. Fit and finish is...
By the way, this 18-3 is one of my ‘never sell’ guns. With the box and goodies and original sales receipt, it belonged to a dear relative who was a WWII bombardier/navigator.
I convinced myself I was done buying guns….as I was out of room in the safes etc. Then along came a LNIB early second gen Colt SAA with the 4 3/4” barrel.
Step 1. Open wallet
Step 2. Empty wallet
Step 3. Chagrin
Step 4. Squeeze Colt into safe. Big grin.
I feel for you Richard, it’s a bad...
Not sure about how rare a 51 is, but I have a 651 that is very hard to find around where I live. They are a lot of fun to shoot. Enjoy yours and congrats on a fine purchase.
I’m a big fan of the CZ 457. Mine is a tack driver with the standard weight barrel. A very well made rifle. I have a Leopold 2-7x on it. I imagine the varmint version is even better. Sorry, I have no knowledge on the Bergara.
