Deepk from above given list, my vote goes for Webley revolver which will be 32 S&W But you mentioned its caliber as 32 ACP. it will require less maintenance and will not be much ammo sensitive as mauser C96 are usually. moreover ammo of 32 S&W will be readily available due to domestic manufacturing while 7.65 ammo is very rare, all mauser owners i know feed them with 7.62x25 Russian and Chinese ammo which is supposed to be a little hotter than original muser loading. AFAIK .25 is very low powered and ammo availability is also becoming an issue now as only available ammo is S&B FMJ at my side and its getting expensive. Walther PPK is good gun but that is out of your budget, other option in 32 ACP you mentioned is browning which again is very old and might have mechanical issues. so in my opinion stick with wheel gun.
regards

The Webley is the only one on that list that is reasonably priced.
A .25 for M 20 for 5 plus
Just curious who and where has quoted these prices

[DEEPAK]

Thanks, webley is .32. Arent 7.65 the same as .32 ACP? I thought so

[DEEPAK]

Thanks, these rates were quoted by a gun dealer in karnataka

Hi Deepak,

Which place in Karnataka are u from?

A .25 Pistol at that price is really expensive. The 32 W/S is still at a reasonable price. Strange thing there is that a A series Webley Scott is more preffered than a B series

HI Bangalore

Nowadays the prices of imported weapons are very high through out our country, and my suggestion is that don't hurry but try to look elsewhere for .32 caliber pistol since you will get KF ctgs easily every where. Further I would advice you to buy P.Beretta Mod-1934/44. for the pistol is very simple in mechanism with very few parts as compared to these brands common in our country like :-Llama/star/ppk/mauser/ astra/ bosque/FN/ bernardelli/CZ/FIE/colt/H&R/HK/webley/Mab/remington/sauer/savage/steyr... etc.. but not Unique mod-51 the model is very similar to beretta 1934/44/or model-70 S. which you should get for about 5.5 if its in original condition.

Thanks for reply,even mauser has very less parts.Itried shooting it, got bullseye from 10 yds.In fact shot well only with mauser. Shall i go for it after bargaining?What should be the price?

[hock ann]

Hello Deepak,
first of all let me know the mauser 1910 model you are talking about is it the mauser 1910 Early or mauser 1910 humpback or just mauser 1910 ?
Hock ann,

Mauser 1910 7.65 mm .32acp manufactured in 1930

[DEEPAK]

Sorry mauser 1914 7.65 mm

[hock ann]

Ok deepak,
The mauser model 1914 is a semi auto pistol which fires .32 (7.65mm) the mag capacity is 8 shots, the barrel is 3 1/4" , and the overall length of the pistol is 6 1/8" with fixed sight the pistol was introduced in the year 1914 and discontinued in 1934. the pistol safety system is not good sometimes accidently the safety can go off since it is push button type and the pistol is a hammerless entirely firing action depending on the recoil spring on the back of the firing pin. again my suggestion go for beretta or unique much better since later on you will not regret.
hock ann,

hi

here i my 2INR worth, go for what u can afford
if u aim to shoot a lot then pay little more, keep in mind the ammo situation. go for one that is simple to use. guns are like ladies, the one u don't like someone else will.

but be sure be for buying that u will be happy with it.

Re the 7.63x25 Mauser vs. 7.62x25 Tokarev cartridges, it's actually the Mauser round that is rated at a (slightly) higher pressure; 2600 bar for the Mauser vs. 2400 bar for the Tokarev. The Tokarev, however, has a bullet that can be .002" larger, and that's were that perception of the Tokarev being hotter may come from. When the Russians adopted the cartridge they changed the bore dimensions to correspond with the bore dimensions of their rifles. Cheers.
