Allegheny Arms – Great Stuff!
I wondered about a 32acp for the Beretta 80X – it is a blow back operated pistol – actually has a surprising amount of recoil for a 380acp – the nature of the beast . . . I dug around a bit and came up with Allegheny Arms – I will do a specific postContinue reading “Allegheny Arms – Great Stuff!”
