Tonight on American Rifleman TV: The Handguns of August, Part 2

FAIRFAX, Va. August 20 -Tonight, "American Rifleman TV" airs Part 2 of its four-part series, "The Handguns of August," which features the pistols and revolvers used throughout The Great War. This week, the focus is on German guns, in particular the standard sidearm of the Kaiser's troops, the 9 mm Parabellum Luger P.08, as well as other versions of the iconic toggle-action pistol. Even though it wasn't standard issue, large number of Mauser C96 "Broomhandles" were used in the trenches, as were decades-old and obsolete Reichsrevolvers. In this week's "Rifleman Review," Associate Editor Joe Kurtenbach shoots the Springfield XD-S 4.0 pistol. For "I Have This Old Gun ..." we look at the Argentine-made versions of Fusil Automatique Leger, the FAL. When Great Britain and Argentina went to war in 1982, both sides were armed with the FAL.
