Goodness Gracious.
I know I said previously that Id never own one....
Truth be known....Ive owned several Merkels. Over the years, Ive owned many Teutonic guns believe it or not. Simsons. Sauers. Kerners. I know exactly how these guns handle. I know exactly how well built they can be. I also know exactly what their short comings are. I usually dont offer up an opinion unless Im experienced. I try not to make it a habit of commenting on things I know nothing about. I think Merkel o/us are ugly too, but I absolutely love how they feel in my hands and I like shooting them. I can overlook a good prewar German o/us aesthetic short comings just because of how much I like how they feel in my hands. Trim, sleek, fast & strong.....butt ugly. Im ok with that.
Moving on....
