The Frommer Stop sure was an interesting gun. The turn of the 20th century was like the Cambrian Explosion for semi-automatic pistol designs. All kinds of wild ideas were tried, and only a smattering survived the selection process.
What a fascinating pistol! Just wondering, though--if they're balky with .32 acp and .380 acp, but they do feed it, couldn't you just load those hotter than factory and get better reliability? Well, probably not many people shooting these anyway.

Either that, or a weaker recoil spring and some toasty Fiocchi or S&B .32ACP.
ReplyDeleteShannon and Bob can make it work. They can fix anything but a rainy day.
