Weren't the Canadians issued the Inglis High Power? Made during WWII by a Canadian stove company. The frames of these pistols were cut out from sheet steel using a blowtorch on a pantograph. That's how the company made many of the components for their stoves. | |||

The New Piistol will have a barrel which measures 3.1415926535897932384626433... " "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I wonder how many of our other NATO, and other, allies, are also using old and/or inferior equipment. Endowment Life Member, NRA • Member of FPC, GOA, 2AF & Arizona Citizens Defense League | |||

I see what you did there... "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

They should have procured Glock 17’s or Glock 45’s. | |||

Kind of amazing that the High Power had an approximate 80 year run in Canada. Heck, I bet other than the forks in the canteen, few other items have had an 80 year run. . | |||

It'll be interesting to see how the C22 differs from the M17/18. | |||

"...the army's longstanding Browning 9mm" Also not a bad choice. | |||

Did Justin from Canada procure rubber band pistols to replace the Hi-Powers? | |||

It is not quite clear whether Canada only carried the John Inglis Mk II or whether there was an additional purchase of FN GP35s from FN in Belgium. The John Inglis Mk II differs from the predecessor versions MK I and MK I* mainly by the fixed sights and the omission of the mounting groove for the stock. Conversions of MK I* pistols with Mk II slide are known. | |||

Canada only ever used the Inglis made guns. There were lots left after the war that had never been issued and they continued to be fed into the system until the late '90s. Other specialty units used various models of SIG (P225, and P226). Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

In a perfect world, it would be really nice to see these come into the surplus market as they transition to a more modern piece. But, being who they are - with the leaders they currently have - I doubt we'll see any of that. | |||

They're after my Lucky Charms! |
Yep. That M2 .50 needs to go. Too old to be of any use, right? Just because it is old does not mean it is obsolete. There is a lot in the US inventory that if you looked closely at the stamps/rollmarks/maker's plates the age of the equipment would surprise you.

Until the British Army in general went over to the Glock a few years back, most of our 9mm pistols were WW2-made Englis pistols, some complete with Suncorite finish totally intact, and with the decal still on the grip. Some of us got the BDA version of the FN-made pistol. My part of the British Army, however, went over to SIG226 and 228 in the early 90's. We still have them, too. Love us our SIGS, us'n. | |||

I was watching videos on Youtube showing Pakastanis cutting out pistol frames/slides from thick plate steel this way. I think they were all steel "Glocks" and "Berettas".  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

I was thinking the same thing. I'd pick one or more up in a heartbeat. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

From what I have been told most of these pistols are in very poor shape.The Canadian military guys I've spoken to consider them a hazard.So not sure you would really want one. "Momma say's the pistol is the Devil's right hand." | |||
