Yes Sir !!

aaroraa: That is a nice looking piece, there! I can see why you are so happy. I wouldn't mind taking a trip to the range with your new toy and finishing off a box of ammo, myself. I'm sure those new stocks will be an aid in controlling the revolver when you shoot and making your shooting more accurate.

Regarding coil vs leaf spring, from a design perspective, the change reflects the move from the Schmidt-Galand lock system used by Webley and the Mk II to a different kind of lock system used in these Mk IIIs. I've never been able to study the Mk III lock, so I can't say anything about it. But with modern steels properly heat treated, there should be no difference in durability between coil and flat springs.

Thanks Timmy !!

My New IOF-FGK .32 M-III Revolver

...Long awaited dream; now lies in my hand, it feels like a dream !!

Hey Guys,

So here is how it all started...10 Sep 2011 i applied for my gun license and got it on 27th August 2012 (pweeffft !! - yeah really long time - due to at times my late follow-ups and other due to UP elections etc...)

any ways i applied for an FGK .32 the same day i got my licence with a DD of Rs 85652/- (prices increased a bit due to tax/duties etc)

I was given the day of 10 Sep 2012 (surprisingly the same date last year i applied for the licence) for the collection of the piece....reached the factory gate around 9:10 (tough, time was to reach by 8:30)

Hey an advice for all who all go for collection of the revolver at FGK:- There is simply no need to form/fight in the que while entering the factory or anything...just be calm and if some one wants to be ahead in the que let him be as all the paper work is done one by one for all and the gun is delivered at the same time no matter if you were number one in line or last & all are ONLY allowed to exit at the same time)

Duh !! off-topic for a while....Any ways, once inside, one after another administrative procedures followed which took time as there were 23 other aspirants other than me...well in around 2 hours all our names were called one-by-one to hand over the pieces and within a split 1 minute...

Well...today am getting new grips on my piece.

Over all the finish and the feel of the IOF-FGK M-III is good at that price range, its just that they could have done far-far-far more with all these decades of experience and skill set....by the way the trigger is tooooooo hard; i am still to fire my gun, probably will visit the shooting range at Rifle Club this Sunday !!!

....any wayz so-long for now, enjoy the pics !!! in one of the pics you all would see the real difference in MarkII and MarkIII ie the SPRING; in the earlier models the spring inside the grip use to be "V" shape however in Mark III they have re-model it to straight-spiral-spring which could be adjusted as per the tension you want with the trigger pull.

PS: By the way do share your views on the pic of revolver safety i came up with, after brain storming the domestic-secure-storage parameters - though i have an electric safe at home but it is kind'of on sharing basis with my family !!

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Small firearm designed to be operated with one hand. The name may derive from the city of Pistoia, Italy, where handguns were made as early as the 15th century.

Certainly there were no revolvers or automatics in the 15th century.
In many areas of the world, the first part of the above definition applies, i.e. a hand held firearm.
