IOF .32 revolver

[Devrishi]

Jaspreet, in India we have some very limited choices. I would say, it's a choice in between good, better & best.

If you are a first time owner with limited knowledge of handguns and that the handgun is not to be used very professionally - i would say you made the right choice of booking IOF... & by the way, imported stuff, majorly, is at least 24+ years old...

Take the delivery from IOF with a happy heart. You've made the right choice.

Best regards

Devrishi

jaspreet,
u just need the weapon for self defense. IOF is best choice, its really a wise decision to go for it. you must be proud after collecting it from there, as i am. its really a worth purchase.
so far as the matter of collecting the rev. from the factory is concerned, not to worry if ram sing is there. just collect the rev. , go to buy the bullets and load it there at the shop. conceal it inside your belt, come back to your hotel and catch your train with confidence and in normal way as usually you do. no need to worry,
you wont be only person on that day who is getting it, there will be so many.( take care pl. don't mooch around the city) otherwise nothing to worry.

best,

ash

Hi pals


Well many times i have seen sportsmen complaining about bad facilities and bad equipment and try to hide their work out and sincerity . The blame is given to bad merchandise but the players had not done enough practice with the things before entering into play....

Similarly if local kuttas and crudely made country weapons are used to fight policemen by naxals where comes the cause of concern.
Having a weapon and having skill and expertise to use it is an other issue.

One day or other we have to leave the image of videshi and stick to desi... ( waht the hell videshi ppol had made to our country ... is known to all .... cumming in line the next raul gadhi is also having a columbian girl freind.... seems that videshi ka chaska will one day sell us to outsiders...)

Budget was no consideration to me before i decided to go for a iof .32 . As i studied webley and other true copy of the same gun and spit open design i see no diff in the iof .32 . since we may need to forget about the videshi is better mindset and have a confidence on waht we possess at the time of difficulty...

i must share with my freind that if a person daily loads and loads his gun before going out and unloads the sweety before retiring to bed ( as per 10 Commandments of Concealed Carry see http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 4&t=829610 ) . The gun will become a part and parcel of the routine and moreover as we use our mobile to find out a new number m it may help a lot in using it when the need may arise....

So better to have regular practice odf shooting and withdrawal and drawing ot yte gun quickly as cowboys do in movies will be of great help....

please correct me if i am wrong....

...you are wrong.

i would like to add one word 'DAMN' just before 'wrong'...

There is nothing wrong with the IOF revolver except that it does not have the snob value in the VIP circles.It is very effective and equally lethal, the best for self defence .

I must agree with indigo_indo, until one has required skills to handle the weapon, iof is better than imported, many people buy a weapon just to showoff, they spend money to get the best piece but what about the skills, and many times people buy a weapon, for few months love to play with it and after that, even they need to look harder where they put it last time. So in my opinion, its better to at least start with iof, and later on when one's skills outshoot one's weapon move on according to the pocket.

please excuse my ignorance, by spit open did you mean top break?

[indiaone]

Yes please, your guess is correct. Let us wait for the Mark-IV which will have a slightly longer barrel. It is expected to be put in production by mid 2011, provided it gets approved by the concerned authorities for mass production.Meanwhile, all members who are in a hurry can goin or the mark-III, it will certainly serve the purpose for which it is meant. Moreover, since there has been overproduction it is easily available in all outlets within a reasonable time i.e. within 5-8 weeks.Some members have the wrong idea that it is manufactured atn several Ordinance factories, the information is incorrect.Components are manufactured only in one factory,but final assembly is carried out in two factories both located in Kanpur. It is then distributed to various sales points, most of which are located in North India, perhaps due to higher demand in the northern states.

[winnie_the_pooh]

Indiaone,

Bulk of it is manufactured by Private Contractors on the basis of the lowest bid.The policy is to manufacture it at the lowest price so that it can be sold at maximum profit.

[indiaone]

Dear Mr Winne,
The information given by you is based on totally incorrect facts. All the major components of the revolver and the pistol are
manufactured in different Ordinance Factories and the final assembly is made in SAF Kanpur. This does not include the cleaning kit,box etc. Please do not circulate information based on your assumptions. I do understand you may be unhappy with the lack of finish and sophestication of the product as well as its lack of snob value. However, before running down the institution of the IOF get your facts correct.
Given the prevailing security situation in the country, it is a fact that getting firearms licence is not and easy job, but one has to live with it.

hi pals

I agree with indiaone that getting an arms license is like getting a chance to meet us president , in india. i managed to get it after a constant follow up and avid links still in two years... .. However possessing and arm oe a weapon does not gurantee the safety of the bearer untilland unless there is enough training and practice. i am very much thankfullto this forum who has made me a well known to arms and weapons that are availble in india , their pros and cons and options available to the indian public. Wehn i bought my fist weapon .. i.e a modern o/u shot gun from Jalandhar the other people who were there to procure and negotiate abt their weapon were amused and impressed by my knowledge of weapons....


however not deviating from the topic... o iof .32

The dealer sold a 2006 model ( which has already breached 5 year sale barring period ) for a hefty amount of 1.35 lacks ...
the model was break open with hammer type and i have seen this model first time . My uncle already have 2002 model without hammer old type and i have fired quite a good amount of shots from it and i am well versed in it.

The new model has more "handy " grip and the stability felt was better.... regarding finishing , yes may be an issue but we need not to display the gun as a new rolex watch or a vertu mobile...

the confidence of a gun under ya jacket and the highlighted bulge of agun may solve 90 % of the probem if with a confident looking man...
