![]() ![]() ![]() When it came to his self-loading pistol being in Swiss military trials he was uninterested in improving his design. Borchardt was a busy inventor and could be a fairly vain one at that. If you’ve never seen what the C-93 looks like, just imagine a metal version of the Keltec CP33 with a longer barrel, toggle-lock mechanism, and it uses a long bottleneck cartridge. This toggle-locked piece of ingenuity had some impressive features that you see in modern firearms such as a push-button release magazine. Fast forward to 1893 when Hugo Borchardt unveiled his C-93 pistol to the masses to some success. Inventors around the globe started tinkering with the idea of a firearm that can load itself, a self-loader. ![]() As early as 1890 a new craze was on the horizon. Just before the 20th century, the most popular handguns were that of black powder revolvers. So is it just a beautiful bottleneck? Does it only provide pitiful potential potency? Let’s dive right into it and hopefully render some ammunition ideas that get your old toggle-lock up and bouncing again! TFB ROUND TABLE: THE. This week I once again offer up some history and ammunition options on another lesser-known and appreciated cartridge, the 7.65×21 Parabellum or better known as. Chances are there is someone here at TFB who can offer you advice on buying the right round for your task at hand. This could vary from big game hunting, plinking, precision rifle matches, small game hunting, or even pistol competitions. So…do I buy a shooter grade C96 in 30 Mauser and treat it like a boutique caliber bolt gun? I mean, seriously.Welcome back to another edition of the TFB Round Table sponsored by Ammunition To Go! For those who are first joining us, this is a multi-part series where TFB will discuss the characteristics of great ammunition for specific applications. Seen Here: Example of a RED 9 C96 Mauser Pistol. Or the more rare and expensive, 9mm Luger version known as the, “Red 9”. What’s the problem you ask? Well…The Germans being German did it to me again! The Broom-handle Mauser comes in two caliber choices. Even though the C96 has a reproduction stock, it is my understanding attaching is exempt from the NFA regulations. See what’s going on here? Given the choice between two calibers, I tend to always choose the common caliber. It’s in regular ole 9mm Luger just like your Glock. In layman’s terms that means it’s a 9mm Luger, Luger. It also needs to be mentioned we have a German Luger. ![]()
