I'd love to try one, the French 1935A. Not to be confused with the more simple lines of the French 1935S or later 1950. The power is rather anemic, like the people themselves. A nominal 77 gr. bullet at 1150 fps. But the new .30 Super is a 1mm longer and much higher pressure version of this. So rejoice if you have a .32 French Long or a 1903 Springfield with a Petersen device from WWI. Trim the modern boxer primed .30 Super brass cases back 1mm, and load it to the old service round specifications. I have heard of rims being turned off .32 Long brass to make useable cartridges. Plus it will shoot .32 ACP single shot.
Sort of has the lines of the SIG 210. Alas, others like it too as they generally run around $1000 if you see one.

- It’s not very useful, just pretty in design. - WB, 2025-03-29, 12:58
