For that reason I test fired them on two separate occasions. The first in December of 2012 and the second one – which is the earlier manufactured – in April of 2014. I purchased these two Orgties designed pistols just over a year apart. Recoil is not great enough to make that a problem.

(No one has yet said, “Gee Arch, you have little tiny – or great big – hands!”) I can get a full shooting grip on the arm at worst, my little finger somewhat straddles the forward lip of the magazine. My hands are not huge by any stretch, but reasonably ‘average’, I should think. The grip length is long enough for a proper grip. (I feel a rant about “… thirty round bursts …” coming on I shall endeavor to avoid such.) It is simple to use and make, but IPSC shooters are horrified at the difficulty of making a ‘quick reload’. Further, this pistol employs a typical – for the time – European style ‘heel catch’ magazine retainer and release. The 7.65mm versions hold eight rounds in the magazine (and one in chamber). These were made for personal defense as concealed carry arms. The pistols are all single stack type magazines. I’ve found a number of pistols which share this trait. Not in the sense of operate poorly, but the slide (in recoil when fired) can easily gouge the upper portion of the web of my hand. Certainly not the sudden ‘glass rod breaking’ feeling of a top grade target trigger, but capable of discharging the arm while not completely disrupting the sight picture.Īnother not often mentioned phenomenon: They bite. When I say creepy, I mean one can feel the sear sliding out of engagement with the cocking piece. Not as heavy as some, but they are long and creepy. The trigger pull is not so heavy I have two Ortgies pistols, one with a trigger weight of just over 4.5 pounds, the other pull weighs in at 6.1 pounds. Such documentation trumps any conjecture based on perceived markings or lack of markings. soldiers should have had ‘bring back’ documents showing they acquired ‘souvenirs’ legally and properly. (However, it will not usually have the ‘country of origin’ marking which is needed for importation to the U. If a family legend has it that one of your forbearers acquired his example from a German soldier, it is quite possible. From the sources I can find, one does NOT find Wehrmacht acceptance stamps normally. However, officers and probably enlisted men could purchase their own sidearm and some Ortgies pistols were so employed. These pistols were never adopted for use officially by the German military. Lest anyone think sights were considered a mere obligatory addition, the sights on both Ortgies pistols I own shoot quite close to the sights. The sights are fixed, and rather small by today’s standards. The sights are milled from the basic block of steel that forms the slide. The Ortgies is not a perfect defense pistol by any stretch. One should focus the eye on the front sight, a skill my camera lacks at present. Also in the mix is the factors the pistols are usually easy to load, handle and fire and the recoil doesn’t intimidate many people. 32 ACP chambered pistol is still in reasonably popular use today, if for no other reason than many were bought in the past one hundred years, many were brought home from the Second World War – back when our government trusted servicemen to retain firearms as souvenirs of service – and they are all still around. The Ortgies pistol was designed and sold as a personal defense pistol.32 ACP was considered a normal defensive caliber in that time period. I haven’t seen a live example yet, so this may not be fully – or partially – correct. I understand this type of safety is being re-introduced on the new Remington “51” pistol. (That release button is also used to field strip the pistol. This button is mounted on the frame, near the rear of the slide, on the left side. The grip safety stays in the depressed condition until a ‘release’ button is pressed. Unlike the grip safety on pistols made by Colt and other manufacturers, the safety does is not spring-loaded and does not automatically extend when not manually depressed.

When depressed – safety disengaged – the firearm is free to fire when the trigger is pulled. When extended – safety engaged – the sear is blocked mechanically by some extension of the safety. Grip safety depressed, safety disengaged.
