I really really liked this episode. This rifle is very unique. Thank you.

Edwin A. Novak

Fine episode! Thank you. The Swiss Model 1911 is an excellent rifle, only made better in 1931 with the K31. 1911's have won many shooting competitions here in the U.S. and would be one of my two choices for milsurp competitions; the other choice would be a K31. Correct bayonets may be very difficult to obtain; if you find one and plan to own one; buy it when you find it. It has been estimated by some knowledgeable milsurp folks that the cost today to build new 1911's would result in a prohibitively expensive firearm.

Who doesn’t love the straight pull rifles?

So the G/K11 is basically a descendant of the Vederli?

@ ~ the 17:00 point you start mocking the longer sight ranges, but don't forget that cavalry was still a thing and machine guns were rare. Using group-firing for area-denial tactics was a theoretically valid procedure, at least. Don't know if it was ever used in practice. [Obviously, not by CH, but other countries' forces perhaps?]

volly fire was in theory a useful tactic in the period and before but how often in history was it actually used to any real effect?

Alden Skinner

Sometimes (frequently) an episode makes me think back to the ads I dismissed decades ago at the back of issues of Guns & Ammo that offered these guns, and others, at a miniscule *fraction* of what they command now. Even adjusted for inflation. And I want a time machine. Is that too much to ask?
