Ah ha! But at her age she’s still colour blind. Apparently they’re into bold dark shapes though so maybe your beard? (Assuming this is Othais). Either way it’s a great excuse to give my fiancé as to why we should be watching it on the tv in the lounge!

Or she likes yellow! Congrats!

I don't believe so, but I've also never handled a 380

C&Rsenal

Oh no! Sorry

C&Rsenal

Yes, thank you

Hey Othais, Mae and gang! Quick update on my newborn daughter: turns out she really likes the new Bayard episode! I thought it was great also but she was completely glued to it! She’s rarely awake long enough to see something of that length as she’s only 3.5 weeks old. But she didn’t miss a second! Maybe she appreciates a small arm that’s ergonomic for a girl of her size to properly 2 hand? Who knows but in any case, nice to see a .32 after a long time! Love and kisses from England! Peace!

unless you throw it at someone...

"Prepair" without the "r" if you will.

With the accent on -per, like peePER. All "Allo Allo" jokes aside...

As a badge of rank it wasn't considered a serious or practical weapon.

Martin Morehouse

Traditionally, a badge of rank, like a sword. As an officer, the soldiers are your weapons.

I believe the correct French pronunciation of Henri Pieper is ‘peeper’ rather than ‘piper’.

John Klear

He was talking about the Bergman-Bayard at that point, which was chambered in 9mm Largo.

I am curious if it is known why 32 and smaller pocket guns were so widely accepted by the European military - Is it in part that the role of a European officer was to ensure orders followed by conscripts and the pistol was a uniform enforcement tool of officers to get conscripts to comply more than it was a combat handgun?

Probably dumb question. But with the different calibers available on the model, did they also mark the magazines to show caliber the magazine took? Just thinking of a what if scenario with a person or soldier having no experience with small danger bean flavors(calibers). Happy New Years Eve everyone
