Smith & Wesson were not keen on the automatic pistol concept, but with the con­ siderable popularity of the type eroding some of their traditional revolver market, the firm tried a model of their own in 1913. Instead of developing a new design, the patents of the French Clement were pur­ chased; this was a simple blow-back pistol, of unusual layout. The main points of interest were a long square bolt which worked in a slot in the body, and a barrel which hinged upwards. The heavy recoil spring was housed above the barrel, and there was a grip safety on the front edge of the grip. The firm decided that it was worth pro­ ducing a new type of ammunition for this pistol. A defect of the early automatics was that lead bullets jammed in the feed ramp, but jacketed bullets wore the barrel badly. Smith & Wesson produced a bullet with a jacketed nose, but a lead skirt, thus getting the best of both worlds. Unfor­ tunately, it was more expensive than the SMITH & WESSON .3S MODEL 1913. usual types, and the owners quickly found that .32 ACP would almost fit, at a lower price. The .32 ACP was a little more powerful than the .35, anJ jams were frequent, which did nothing for sales, and by 1921, when production sensibly ceased, only 8,350 had been sold. There were many variants on the original design, it being possible to identify eight types, all with minor changes, one from the other. .32 Automatic Pistol, 1924-1936. One might have thought that the experience of the .35 automatic would have been enough for any company, but Smith & Wesson were determined to continue trying. and the .32 seemed to be a more popular calibre. The new model was both smaller and simpler than the .35, but it was still most expensive to make, and despite con­ tinual cost cutting exercises, it was about 30 per cent dearer than its rivals. The mechanism was similar to that of the .35, but contained several worthwhile improve­ ments. Nevertheless, the U.S. firearms laws of 1926, together with the Depression. pre\'ented it making any impact, and less than a thousand were sold. 9mm Automatic Pistols 9mm Automatic, Model 39, 1954- .

    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.

  • The Auxiliary Barrel
    THE AUXILIARY BARREL BY LOYE MILLER HERE has been much shifting of emphasis in the study of Vertebrate Zo- T ology since I embarked upon it (even though crudely) more than sixty years ago. Still, the collectin, m of specimens in the field is not an obsolete procedure by any means. Scarcely a week passes that I do not have inquiry from some graduate student regarding equipment for shooting birds, reptiles or small mammals. Their problem is still a real one. Expert machinists are expensive to employ and they lack familiarity with the problem; hence the present day “do it yourself” slogan might well be brought into play. Adult education classes in night schools at many localities offer facilities and training in the use of power tools. I “learned by doing” forty years ago. Why not try it? These suggestions are offered, therefore, to the novice. My earliest efforts to avoid the “half-load” for standard-bore shot guns were directed toward the shot pistol (Miller, 1893;1915), a device that still has a very definite function (Schmidt, 1951). Quite a number of shot pistols have been put into circulation for my colleagues and students. They are of great importance to the herpetologist and to the man who “travels light.” The auxiliary barrel, however, is the most serviceable device for the serious collector who is working in country with a diversified fauna. A fairly large bore double-barreled shotgun with a .38 caliber (or .410 gauge) and a .22 caliber auxiliary barrel make up a good general armament. Even a few shells loaded with a solid slug to represent the opposite “end of the spectrum” may properly be added to the list.
