I like the HSC

Art deco, pretty gun. Came with the original holster. Smells like Nazis. I have the bring back permission slip too. The guy was in the 45th Army, 157th Infantry. They fought from Anzio to Dachau. His widow didn't say where exactly he got it, other than from an SS guy surrendering. I like to believe it's offed some filthy Hebes. Could have been carried by a scared 18 year old and never fired either, but I like the 1st one.
That Gewehr 98 saw action in WWI then got some minor updates for the Weimar period, then re-barrelled with new sites for the WWII era in 1935. Not a front line gun, probably Volksturm or something. Also a bring back. Iron site accurate, I love it.

Yessir. You still in Antifaland?

U-boat comnanders preferred sidearm. Very elegant piece.
-
Yeah, the early Kriegsmarine ones had the handle screw in a weird place, those are rare. It's cleaner than the P08 and it's still a .32. Not gonna blow someone over but it's enough, no one wants to get shot. Nice glovebox gun.

Yup the start of a bad day if the business end flashes and you look at it straight.

Out of curiosity FMV $800+?
-
That's in the ballpark.

A thing of beauty. I want one. I'll get my pawnshop buddy on it today.

I actually owned an HSC. they are a very small gun and feel pretty good in the hand. Accuracy with most brands of ammo was disappointing... Also functioning with either mag was iffy unless you used FMJ ammo.
I actually like my PPK in .32 a lot better... the PPK is suprisingly accurate so I expected the HsC to be so. I also like the exposed hammer of the PPK... I have a Savage model 07 that is a very cool .32... 11 round double stack mag... first double stack mag ever I believe.
For tiny... you can't beat the 08 Colt vest pocket or baby Browning in .25... I have both those guns and they are a hoot. You don't expect to hit much but I have surprisingly good results with either at say 10 yards.

HSC has an exposed hammer too.
As for accuracy, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with this at first. I unloaded it, put the safety on and aimed and pulled. I noticed that when I squeeze, the gun pulls to the left or right(or both!). It's just the curvy shape as you squeeze. I had to sort of death grip it or at least be very intentionally about each pull. It's not super accurate not but it's on target.
-
Yeah... not exactly what I mean by exposed hammer but better than nothing. I don't pull much to one side or another with handguns anymore.... but... the smaller the gun and heavier the trigger the more it is possible... I will admit that. zillions of rounds downrange with a double action revolver or 20 will get you tuned up.
