yes but he was pissed because they made him give up his Beretta M418. There were a few Bond pistols. The one that had a silencer on it although it was supposed to be a PPK was really a FN 1910 as it was the only one in the prop dept that had a can on it. There is no mention of him ever using a P5.

These followed my son and I home today. Mine is a Ruger SR1911 Commander 70 series and his is a Para Ordnance 1911

I don't believe for a second that barrel holds 8 cartridges, a 9mm OAL is about 43mm, with a barrel length of 180mm, there's not room for even 4. Can we really trust that as a reliable source?

"developed.......as a replacement of the .....PP"

I'd call it a replacement of the P38. Even uses the same magazine. Have one from SOG I bought years ago, issue date is '65 or so.

I defer to your better research I missed the Octopussy list for some reason. My bad...

You don't have a P5 from 1965........but your correct, the p5 was for replacement of the P1.

In addition, P38/P1 mags will not work on the P5, they have to be modified to work properly.

You are correct, my P1 is dated 9/62, the P5 11/83.
The P5 mags will fit the P1, but P1's would need a notch cut in the back to work in the P5.

I'll be taken this one pig hunting in June. That vineyard destroying boar's gonna say "OUCH!...Well, this is it for me, but at least it was a classy 130 year old 38-55 with a 3x barrel that did it

Jeff and Henry, I need a little help. What are these sights?, and would they be original to a Win hi-wall manufactured in 1887?

I can't find them in a google search. Close, but no perfect matches.

Those are from Bullard Arms of Springfield Mass, circa 1887-1888. Ref Gerald O. Kelver's Reloading Tools, Sights, and Telescopes for Single Shot Rifles, Robinson Press, Ft. Collins, CO 1982 page 63.

So, yes, they would be period correct for your Highwall. Cool rifle, by the way.

Craig T · 03-11-2015, 07:17 PM

Jeff…You rock!!! Thank you!

I knew you'd have the book. I've been Google searching all day. I've seen the exact sights on Google images, but nothing in the websites that names them.

My pleasure; glad I could help.

The Colt 357 model was introduced in the mid 1950s and lasted for only 4-5 years. It was in direct competition with the Trooper and Python so Colt dropped it from the lineup. This is one that I bought several years ago, complete with original box!

HHI944 · 03-12-2015, 07:51 PM

I really want something like this

A 460 Rowland......something about an 80gr bullet at 3000+fps out of a hand spoon is rather attractive...

One must ask... Why? You can't carry it legally in most places.

They made 15000 Colt 357 Magnums. The Python and Trooper outsold the 357 and that was why it was discontinued. I have had a couple of those over the years.

Tabs is correct. What he didn't say was that the reason the others outsold the "357" is because of the handwork that went into each "357". The "357" actually fit in the lineup between the Trooper and the Python. It (the 357) had the fit and finish of the Python but one could get the same functionality from the Trooper at much less cost. Somewhere down the road, the limited production of the "357" will increase it's collectability and thus price!
