The 228 and 229 were the ONLY double-stack pieces that fit my hands almost as well as a 1911.
You have some incredible knives and guns.![]()
FWIW, the slimmest double stack .45 ACP I ever shot were my IMI Jericho 941's / Magnum Research Baby Eagles... they are noticeably slimmer in the grip than a 9mm CZ (for example). They are a 10+1 for the "semi-compact" I have. Steel frame Jericho Grip at the slimmest portion is about dead equal measured around the grip to a typical Springfield 1911 with wood grips and significantly thinner than a RIA that has a rubber insert that adds finger grooves to the front strap.The 228 and 229 were the ONLY double-stack pieces that fit my hands almost as well as a 1911.

.22lr.25acp? That's the original gun Bond carried I believe. Before he was given the PPK.
I never read the books and I have no idea what 007 carried, but I sure love old small-caliber autos. Cheap thrills fifteen years ago. I’m not serious enough to be buying more these days.

Zehna type III in .25acp, Astra 200 in .25acp, Astra 300 in .32acp, and an Astra 300 in .380acp.
I love those marbled brown grips!!!
This was my grandfather's. It took me a long time to get it working. .22 short mags are hard to find and exorbitantly expensive. $80 or so for 6 shot mag.I love those marbled brown grips!!!
My first pistol was a Colt 1908 vest pocket auto in .25acp, purchased as a solid brick of rust. I soaked it for weeks, took it down to metal, and replaced a few springs. It was a pitted shooter. Ran fine with everything except aluminum cases. Gave it away. Years later I was sort of missing it and realized nice ones were getting pricey. Opted for the Astra 200 instead. Used to have an Astra 600 as well but found it too snappy to be enjoyable. Even the 300 in .380 isn’t nearly as bad.
Looks like an Elliot Ness, Untouchables, set up. Nice leather bag with a very nice wheel gunYes. It is a 65-2. This model still had the recessed cylinders and pinned barrel.
