This pistol has the markings of the "Third Reich" on the slide, frame, barrel, and magazine. All numbers matching pistol. Tracing the serial number back it goes to the early 1930's ('31-'32).
That is my brother in the video. Yes thats a Mosin slung over his shoulder, a gift from me for XMAS.
Not sure why there was only 10rds in the mag, could have been any number of reasons. This shooting session is over a year old now, hard to remember details like that.
@lukystryk Indeed they are great pistols, nice vid by the way. Is that a Mosin slung over your shoulder? Also, if you don't mind me asking, why did you have only 10 rounds in the mag? Strong mag spring?

My mistake guy. I meant to type in 40's like the title of the video. Thanks for pointing that out.
Congrats, they are nice pistols.

How can it be made in 1931-1932? It was designed 1935, and those marks are waffenampts. I have a WWII Belgian Hi-Power as well,
