The Radom Vis Pistol
Seller: Collector Bookstore, Leavenworth, KS, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft Cover. Condition: New. This book provides valuable historical and collectible data on the Vis pistol produced in Radom, Poland. It includes the characteristics of various Vis pistols, holsters, magazines, and common markings. It also has English translations of the Polish army manual, French commercial manual, and the Polish patent. The true story of the Wilniewczyc and Skrzypinski or Vis pistol is very interesting and hopefully its telling will promote more research about the people who were responsible for its creation and the other weapons that they designed, so they may take their place among the acknowledged gun designers of the world. Little accurate information has heretofore been published about the Vis. This is in part because the Vis had a relatively short life as an official weapon. It was made for only a few years before WWII and then by the occupying German forces during the war with its production halted in 1945 by the Russians. During the ten years of its production, there was little opportunity for any information to evade the universal government desire for secrecy. Seller Inventory # ANG-1981-9780941540254-WH1
