If the Second Amendment had not already been infringed several times beginning in 1934, these might be available in our LGS.

Really, though, how many would buy one with availability destroying the novelty?

Is that the stiffest recoiling pure blowback pistol?

This one has a history. Springfield Armory Target model that I took to Kustom Ballistics to work over for bullseye shooting at a local range. It looked like this.

flat trigger with a 2lb break. I shot this for about three years in slow fire locally. Then I used it for a test gun when I started reloading.

changed the springs twice, but it worked every time.

Finally, the plunger tube came lose and I decided to send it to Robar (when they still did guns) and called to talk to them. After about three conversations we worked it out.
Drop the ambi safety, plunger tube, brass bead front sight (a gold bead would take six weeks to get) replace some trigger parts,
NP-3 the entire gun and internals.

it came back with 3.5 lb trigger, every time.

this gun has well over 20,000 rounds through it.

Believe Winchester also had a .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle during this period. What characteristics - other than “not invented here” - required the Garand  and later the carbine rather than one of these?

Can those have a suppressor yet? They're supposed to be tweaking it.

I don’t know. It’s a great gun though.

That honor probably belongs to the Polish P-64.

PMs are one of the few pistols out there that I consider fun to shoot. YMMV
