Go for the new IOF Pistol instead of old Arminus revolver.

Unless there is something wrong with the Arminus, I fail to see why you would even entertain the thought of buying the IOF .32 pistol.

Arminius IMHO,given a choice, is the only German make that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. I hold all other fire arms made in Germany in a very high esteem though. I have seen and used this particular make in .22 lr and .32 long calibers. It certainly will fire every time you pull the trigger unlike our IOF products. It is a better bet then an IOF product till you come across something better, again IMHO.

What a pity .....u comparing a Mercedes with an Ambassador....and asking others to decide which is better. Please stick to the Arminius...Don,t even think of selling it.....

Although, i have no first hand experience about IOF pistol but as far as i have learned from here and specially from my friend CC , i strongly suggest that you should stick to the wheel gun

First of all if there is no problem in your revolver then dnt sell it. And if you really wanna sell and buy a pistol, then you have no choice other than IOF pistol coz u will get it for only 70k. Other pistols of new condition will cost you above 3L. My friend bought new IOF pistol a few months back and i fired many rounds without any problem. My friend its not Ambassador, its New Tata Safari 2.2 vvt. and you can sell for approx double the price after 5 years. Go for IOF.
