Did you see what the President of Turkey did?

Post by JimT »

He gave each NATO leader a Gumusay .357 Magnum cased and engraved with the person's name on it. He included live ammo.

Turkish News says the pistol is a "Sarsilmaz SR 38 revolver" ....

Good Show!

Maybe it will encourage some of those leaders to grow a pair!

I have a Sarsilmaz semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun. Good, serviceable firearm.

Attractive pistol. Very Pythonesque.

Sarsilmaz makes a good Tanfoglio clone. It looks like a CZ75, and shoots like the Engineers removed the missed targets from it while designing a good trigger. I used one and put 17 rounds in the bullseye at 20 yards rapid fire. Surprised me, and my wife was bragging on me to everyone around. I had to get permission to do the rapid fire. The RO let me do it once. That Sar 2000 is amazing.

I wonder what Prime Minister Starmer will do with his, it was a Labour government that was responsible for banning handguns in the UK. I doubt he has ever even held a firearm the despicable little man. At least now he could do the honourable thing and waste the other 499 rounds.

I believe he left it in Turkey as it would have been illegal for him to take it into the UK.

Starmer probably readied himself for a colonoscopy at the sight of a gun.

No. He left it in Turkey to be "deactivated" or destroyed.

What a funny world, now I find that I have more respect for the president of Turkey than the leaders of our so-called allies.
