With a shout out to Bond.

Though it's about the prissy effeteness of .32 compared to .455 Webley.

Webley Revolvers were always a cool gun quintessentially British and it does not hurt Indiana Jones had one too.

.32 is that the PPK?

Problem with small caliber guns in combat is they are small caliber guns. Remember the lesson of Tupac my friends.

I would of gone with the original Persian Mauser over the Turkish and 98K. The 98k was nuts with the short stock and steel buttplate less than 70 rounds was a torture test, a man guns no doubt, originally used by Nazi then used by every freedom loving person in the world before the ak47 took its place.
