Turkish-imported Girsan 1911, marketed in India as the Kiehberg 1911 fully field-stripped and broken down part-by-part. This is one of the more premium 1911-pattern pistols currently available in the Indian civilian market. Chambered in .45 ACP (NPB).
If this kind of technical deep-dive / teardown content interests you, let me know in the comments.
Meet the Baikal MP-71H, the rugged Russian pistol chambered in .380 ACP. Imported and distributed by Nanda Manufacturers, this compact semi-auto draws from the legendary Makarov design.
• Caliber: .380 ACP (NPB)
• Weight: 710 gms with empty mag
• Capacity: 12+1 rounds double-stack mag.
• Action: DA/SA trigger with a manual safety/decocker for safe carry.
Not something you see every day. Customized MSD Champion chambered in .45 ACP spotted at a gun house.
Intricate scroll engraving across the slide and frame, paired with those textured grips… what do you guys think: tasteful custom job or a bit over the top?
During the 2019 India–Pakistan aerial engagement, Abhinandan was reportedly carrying a Glock 26, chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. Compare that with the US Air Force which has equipped its downed pilots with GAU-5A (compact, takedown 5.56×45mm rifle that fits inside an ejection seat and can be assembled in seconds), India is still relying on imported standard-issue sidearms.
At the very least, our pilots should have domestically designed, duty-grade striker-fired service handgun with modern ergonomics, if not a compact, rapidly deployable takedown rifle system.
Congrats on the new gun. Now get your finger off the trigger before you hurt someone. 🤡
Gun houses letting this happen inside their shop is embarrassing. If they’re allowing customers to pose like this, they’re failing at the most basic level of safety education. Selling a firearm without enforcing handling discipline is pure negligence.
For the curious, this is the MSD Champion pistol, chambered in .45 ACP.
