Section 8: Handguns Subject: Mauser C96 Msg# 979449

I had a very nice (98-99%) red nine broom handle in, of course, 9mm Luger along with a wooden stock/holster that was serial numbered to it. I detail stripped it once and all the serial numbered parts (almost everything in the gun) matched. The grip felt exactly like a broom handle when shooting it offhand and installing and using the stock made it feel a lot better and shoot a lot more accurately for me. Unlike the 1911 I had to look at the gun to make sure it was oriented properly. I can feel whether or not I'm gripping a 1911 in a manner that points it at my target.
The gun was so nice I was afraid to shoot it for fear of having to replace one of the serial numbered parts with a non-original piece. I finally sold it. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: To me, the C96 looks ungainly. I have held them. They are not comfortable for ME. I MUCH prefer the 1911, as much as I make fun of the fanboys of them. It IS ergonomic. I can see why the C96 eventually fell out of favor with pretty much everyone except the Chinese. 
Still, I have never fired one, so I can't really say how much they'd recoil. |
