Gifts for the Firearms History-Lover in Your Family

By

The approach of the holidays provides the loved ones of gun enthusiasts the perfect opportunity to surprise them with what they love best—a new gun. In this case, however, while the gun will be new to them, it certainly will not be new. This is a list of a few historical firearms that should move any self-respecting gun history buff to salivation. For a vast selection of historical firearms, check out a reputable gun marketplace or auction site like GunBroker.com.

CZ 75
Colt 1911

With the possible exception of a Colt “Peacemaker” (also a great choice), there is almost certainly no American gun more iconic than the classic Colt 1911 chambered in 45 ACP. It is arguably the most-copied gun platform in history, and for good reason. The Colt 1911 is a hardy, trustworthy, reliable brick of a weapon. It remains in continuous military and law enforcement service to this day—well over a century. That is one hell of a history.

 Radom Model 35

The Radom Model 35 or FB Vis 35 is a Polish sidearm that enjoys a nearly-fanatical cult following. It is an early-to-mid 19th-century pistol that resembles an elegant hybrid of a Colt 1911 and a Browning Hi-Power. In addition to being a beautiful example of art deco grace, it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Many Radom devotees rely on this nearly century-old Polish pistol as their everyday carry.

 CZ 52

Anyone familiar with the most highly-praised and widely-adopted firearms of the last century is familiar with the legendary CZ 75. While it remains a firearm any gun enthusiast would undoubtedly appreciate, its 1975 provenance does not really qualify it as sufficiently antique for this list. Instead, gift your gun history buff with a CZ 52. The CZ 52 is a Czech military pistol invented in, yes, 1952. The CZ 52 is a pistol with the guts of a machine gun. Its roller-locked internal mechanism, previously used in the MG 42, is incredibly rugged. That makes it capable of firing seriously hot loads from the already blazing 762x25mm bottleneck Tokarev cartridge. Additionally, as a relatively obscure handgun, a CZ 52 in great condition can often be picked up for a steal.

 Webley 455 Revolver

For those firearms history buffs more partial to wheelguns, consider the renowned Webley 455 revolver. These unmistakable revolvers are popular for their service as the sidearm of choice for a couple of generations of soldiers and adventurers throughout the British Empire and both Great Wars. They are also popular for their chambering in the beefy 455 Webley cartridge.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
