…and some Euro leaders, well, act like Euros.

Found this article mildly amusing. Dutch boys are actually going to disable the revolver. Red Face

Looks like a nice revolver, I assume it’s a SW or Colt clone given the Turks’ history of cloning weapons (1911s, High Powers, etc.). I’d expect it to be well done given their recent examples of good manufactured weapons.

I think this presents President Trump a golden opportunity to compare himself to the Euros: video of him opening box, loading it, and blasting at a target, turns to the camera and says, “Nice!, fantastic, tremendous!, can I get one in .44 Magnum?”

Not sure if it’s accurate but I read that Starmer can’t take his back to the UK because it’s illegal. HAHAHAHA

From another article-
“appears to be a Gumusay .357 Magnum, a rare six-shooter ​produced by Turkish arms maker MKE in the 1990s”. Looks like a Python copy.

The UK is such a faggoty ass cuck nation. In my VERY brief time there they managed to live up to rock bottom expectations by confiscating my sons school scissors from his backpack that we took on a European vacation to Italy, France and Spain. (We had the misfortune of going through the UK on the way home). Way to go Heathrow! You guys are Fn hero’s stealing my kids scissors. Never mind the fact that we were on route to the USA and just passing through your shit hole nation. We cleared security 3 times and managed to not stab anyone with our “weapon of war” but you dipshits couldn’t allow us to fly home with that pair of scissors could you? Roll Eyes

I would be willing to hold it for him, for a nominal storage charge.

Maybe Keir Starmer can use his pistol to shoot himself in the feet.

And the message this sends to:
A. The Turkish leader, is insulting.
B. Any NATO opponent, very encouraging.

Looks a lot like a Colt Python copy. Something to remember is that Turkey is capable of making First Class firearms. That gun may actually be superior to later edition Colt Pythons.


I've stopped counting.

Reading of this caused me to wonder. To wonder if Erdogan used the revolver gifts to judge the kind of "men" leading fellow NATO countries?

That's unbelievable, and yet I completely believe you. "faggoty ass cuck nation" Big Grin

I wish it weren't so. I hope the good men of the British Isle can reclaim their nation from the repressive darkness that is setting in.

That's not the one they gave to Starmer. This is the one he was given:

I have to assume so, Erdogan is extremely crafty. I've got a feeling the non coward countries have had a post summit laugh around, "Well if NATO goes to war, we know who's actually going to fight."

Just came across this interesting and informative article -

“Discover the secrets behind the Turkish Gümüsay .357 Magnum revolver gifted to NATO leaders by Erdogan.”

https://www.armyrecognition.co...er-erdogan-nato-gift

It’s somewhat amusing, laughable, and pathetic actually, how some countries treated the ‘transfer’ of the revolver as if it was a nuclear weapon or something.

It’s pretty funny that Kier Starmer’s gift / presentation set included 500 rounds of ammo while everyone else’s had six rounds only.

It’s almost as-if Turkey was razzing and mocking him on the sad state of affairs in Britain wrt gun and ammo ownership by private citizens.
