Any Ortgies Owners ???

I have a .32 model. I wouldn't carry it with a round in the chamber, even with the safety engaged.

Here's an example of the 6.35mm version, sometimes identified as the "Vest Pocket" Ortgies, even though it's not especially small compared to other pistols in this caliber.

I have the 6.35mm version. I used it for years.

I have a .32 and .25, I just think they are nifty and fun.

I've owned several of them over the years and even had a few of the rifles that some folks mistakenly call Ortgies. Deutsche Werke made both the rifles and pistols, but only the pistols were actually Ortgies designs.

Stumbled across this older thread with a somewhat recent post.

I have .25 Ortgies and have my eyes peeled for a .32 and .380.

My gun has been fired so much that the out-of-battery safety has worn a groove in the slide. Because of this, it thinks the slide isn't closed much of the time and therefore deactivates the trigger. This can be overridden by pulling the trigger over to the right while pulling it back. It could be fixed by welding or brazing into the groove, or my plan (some day) to just fill it with JB weld and smooth it.

That's not your typical 2 line Ortgies. "D.W.A.E." marked guns are said to be extremely rare.

I have no idea if that was an appropriate price, but 2 people obviously thought so.

Just to be 100% clear here is this the stamp on the slide that's being discussed? Because this is my ortgies in .25 acp and I'd really like to know rightnow if I have a 300 dollar gun or 3,000 dollar gun lol

hello, I have a bright nickel .32 cal one that my cousin gave me because it won't fire. I have found a place that sells firing pins and springs and stuff but no matter what I do I can't get it to cock. I thought the sear was worn down so I added material to the trigger side of sear so it will make the firing pin side go down further but I cannot for the life of me get it to cock. Could the spring on the sear be out of spec? I think it is about the only thing left I haven't played with yet. I really would like to make this thing actually cock. Am I correct in my thought process? Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.
