- In the 80s and 90s, concealed carry enjoyed a renaissance that produced a slew of excellent and affordable handguns for the common man. However beginning in the early 20th century the carry of small, affordable semi-automatic pistols began to really gather steam. In this list, we explore five of the most popular vintage options.

I actually own a 4 digit serial number 1903 pocket hammerless that was my grandfathers. We still have the original box, papers, case, and tools for it
+GamerBoysProductions Holy crap, you`ve got to post that!
Brian Patronie How so? Imgur? CZcams?
I honestly have no idea what to post it on

Brian Patronie all im finding are mosin and surplus sites
Brian Patronie I looked through them all but the closest I could find to antique or old pistols was the semi-auto forum
The only time I needed my Glock I pulled it out and it jammed immediately. I threw it at the perpetrator. It hit him in the head but he picked it up and pointed it at me. Thankfully it jammed again. The magazine fell out and he tripped on it while running away. You may doubt my Glock. But it got the job done.
Noah the Flowa it may have protected you, even if it was not how it was intended.
I'm impressed on how you're still managed to live that day...
@Heroin Bob this comment reads
I carry a pistol with 17 rounds because I have unrealistic expectations of a gunfight, I scoff at 1911s because it's to heavy for me and too expensive, I spent an extra $500 on aftermarket stuff for my glock even though it came "perfect" from the factory
@Heroin Bob Nah not all Modern Guns are bad, many are better then 20th century guns. Especially SIG handguns, Glocks are just complete trash.
@@idk1848 I mean they are one of the most used guns in the world, perhaps the most used handgun, adopted by law enforcement, militaries, etc. They are considered a highly reliable gun with a an easy learning curve. Durable, reliable, and easy to shoot. You may not like them but they are not trash.
Pshhh i only carry a match lock. People say that keeping a burning string with you is unpractical, but after blowing on the string a couple times it really doesnt seem that bad. Although i go through miles of slow match every week its just something you have to deal with.
+Impossibear But what if it's humid?
Kiddies these days with their fancy IPads and Matchlocks. Call me old fashioned, but I carry Billiard balls in a sock
Mark Nutt How 'bout a good knife. Nothing, NOTHING, is scarier than a big, sharp, shiny knife.
+Mark Nutt pshh you think billiards ballls are old fashioned? Befire the matchlock i used to carry a pike
Impossibear How about a big knife? Mine's called Sharp-Sharp.
Is that a PP in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I brought one in 1982 but it not made in Germany it is made by Manhurun in French. I paid $230.00b for it in Cal .32ACP with extra magazine and original Box. I never shoot it.
Shut the fuck up, Leo!

I keep coming back to this video, just for the sake of reading this comment over and over...
I get the refrence
Carry gun? Artillery Luger of course!
If you tote around an artillery luger then you have my respect sir!
with snail drum mag, of course...
Why a Arty Luger when you can use a M712?
Pft go get a kolibri
Dude what the fuck?!
I just want to take a second to thank all of our viewers. I never thought that as a small operation we would grow this fast and get this much support from the community. I love doing this and we hope you all enjoy the content.
Thank you I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the run and guns, keep up the good work 😀, your videos are some of the most unique on CZcams involving guns, I think you could give FPS Russia a run for his money.....
It's a great channel that does actual reviews and cool comparisons not just shooting random crap
Your guys channel is pretty awesome. Y'all do some stuff that a lot of others don't do.
I don't know how you guys do not have more subs. You guys are awesome! Keep up the awesome work!
+TFB TV Great channel, good presentation, informative and shows a wide spectrum of different guns from all over the past century and up modern weapons of today. Thank you for your efforts to bring to us all these "eyecandies"! BTW Why don´t we see Patrick anymore?
I must say that the beauty of the Walther PP is stunning.
It truly is beautiful
My buddy picked up a french manhurin for $300, absolute steal, .32 is a fun cartridge
As a college student in the late 70s I returned my friend's father's ill cared for 1903 Colt to service for him.
I really liked that slim, sleek little gun.
Hooray for .32 acp love. This cartridge needs further revival.
I still want to know who's doing the repro's of the Colt 1903. i really want one.
9mm in pocket pistols isn't a great idea.
9mm pocket guns are great these days. Why have a .32 when you can have a .380 and why have a .380 when you can have a 9mm.
Douglas Paulson .32 is a pleasure to shoot
NO
1:56 My Uncle has a 1903 pocket hammerless in his collection, but there is some kind of deformity on the exact gun he has, which was most likely made while the gun was in production, so he is getting it looked at by an expert. Fun fact: My Uncle couldn't find the original magazines because his dad misplaced them before giving it to my uncle, but my uncle found them while look through his dad's stuff after he passed away.
Man I miss Alex. These top 5 videos are my all time TFB favourites. I love everyone else that works or has worked with TFB, but Alex was, and still is, the face of TFBTV. Anyhow, best of wishes to every one at TheFirearmBlog and happy New Year!
Michael Best does he have his own channel? I just discovered tfbtv and I like his videos the most.
I bought a Colt 1903 in 1997. It was called "new old stock" at a LA area gun store. It's a cool popper. People then and now said I paid too much ($480.00 after tax and DROS) but man, it's a really cool little gun and I collect. Colt should retool and make some. They're pretty relevant today I think.
+E Pendon-Ramos Colt is now making new ones, but they're ridiculously expensive.
Those pistols are considered to be the "Lesser Known" handguns used during WW1. Great video as always.
Not all were WWI pisols, and I think these are all well known guns.
+TFB TV The pistols shown were well known during its time; however as time has passed, they have become lesser known. I did not know of those pistols until I learned about them from a presentation I recorded on video. You can actually check out that video in my profile called the "Handguns of World War 1: Focusing on the Lesser Known Handguns."
I carried a Colt 1903 for many years, the things have zero recoil and while they're not quite tack drivers, you would still have to intend to miss your target.
Other than the sights they are great little pistols.
I recently purchased a Mauser Model 1914 and it is a great little pistol.
I have used a Smith made PPK/S as my EDC since January of 2013. I love the design and performance of the gun. The type of pocket holster I use also allows me to carry an extra magazine as well. It's a little on the heavy side but like I always say to people that complain about carry weight , just loose a couple of pounds off that beer belly to offset the guns weight.
The little Mauser Pistol looks cool
They really are fantastic little guns.
@@tfbtv I first saw it in 1970 at my friend home in Thailand but did not know much about it. I later I know it called Mauser M-1910 pocket using blow back action. I brought one in mint shape in Massachusetts from collector but only in .25 cal. for $299.00 before I lost my job in 1993. I brought a second one in Connecticut in nice shape for $400.00 but I never fired both gun. I just like it.
My grandfather owned one. I shot it a few times. First time shooting it was probably the first time it had been fired in years. Jammed a few times, but after that it functioned flawlessly. Matching serial numbers and the only flaw in condition was the finish beginning to wear at a couple of points. In my opinion, it also rivals the Colt 1903 in aesthetics. If you happen to find one for a good price, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
My great grandfather had a 1907 savage and carried it daily as a buss driver in prohibition era Chicago. It hasn’t been cleaned in over a hundred years and still shoots incredibly well. It’s prone to limp wristing but that could be mitigated with a little cleaning and some oil. The real Achilles heal is its magazine release.
This made me so excited as my 1st handgun I've ever bought was a Walther PP chambered in .32 ACP.
Walther has, and always will, makes the sexiest guns.
+The Count of Monte Disco I dunno... there is something of an amazonian beauty about a government property Colt 1911.
Lucas West Both PP/PPK and 1911 are classic and classy handguns.
Bill Bo Haggins
P99?
P99 and PPQ M2 Q5 will always be my favourites ^0^
Sig, Beretta, and Colt Disagree
Always a pleasure to watch a video with someone talking about my little Mauser 1914. Love the little thing, great pistol. Great video!
Your PP was introduced in 1929 - cutting it close. That is some nice wood on your PP
My PP is some nice wood
"Nice wood on your pp lol
Designed 1928.
James bond used a Walther PPK, not the PP. The Walther PP was an issue police pistol. That's what the PP stands for Polizeipistole. The K refers to the concealable version. Still, both versions are great pistols.
+TheLordKell- Perhaps it's a minor point but still when someone is trying to 'sell' a product, his facts should be absolutely correct.
Bond did use the P99 in Casino Royale (the Craig one) but went back to the PPK.
Very debatable, some say the K stands for 'Kriminal' as in Pistol Polizei Kriminal issued to detectives or, ' Kurz' German for 'short or small' , using a smaller round or smaller in size. Again issued for concealment. Any views out there?
@@jimdus4048 No, M handed him a PPK . It was a PP frame with shortened barrel and PPK slide chambered in .380 = 9 mm kurz. His words: You have been shot because your Beretta had a malfunction. Double O means that You have the right to kill and not to be killed. Here U have the new Walther PPK. It 9 mm has a punch like a brick through a glass window...- and give me Your Beretta. BTW - I also own a PPK .
Bobby,Bobby, Bobby, if you read the original post you would realise that I had said that I had read that the 'k' referred to 'kriminal' or 'kurz' for the short 9mm round and was asking if anyone could set me right as to the correct answer.
I'm not a huge gun person but wow, that walther is certainly a thing of beauty
what about the fully automatic sawed off 12 gauge triple barreled shotgun?
What
what
WHAT
Are you referring to "The Vengeful One" Music video? If I'm not mistaken the Shotguns in the video had only two barrels.
+Nosebleed Macgee wasn't referring, sorry, and yes, 2 barrels
HIPSTER CARRY
lol
+first6digits lol
first6digits but hipsters are all liberal SJWs and don't carry guns.
@@knifecraze2.087 Ha beat me to it. They carry illegals and ebt cards.
1911 is hipster carry then u fucking idiot
I have a beautiful 1908 Vest Pocket made in 1931. Still works perfectly.
Thanks for including the 1914 Mauser pistol, they also shoot very well.
+o2wow Agreed, out of all of my pocket .32`s (1934, HSC, PP) the Mauser 1934 shoots the best...
+wbbh: The Mauser (or any other gun that slams closed when a loaded magazine is inserted) is not to be trusted. A few worn parts=an AD.
+TheGyvel Well it is an antique, and it will probably still shoot well after that AD. ;) Muzzle control, yes it is that important.
I think the Mauser 1914 looks beautiful ;)
Great video. My wife commented that you said, "Doodie", "Pee-Pee", and "De-Cocker" in rapid succession. I'm sure it was not intentional... but still. I would have liked to have seen the the Remington 51 or FN 1910 on this list, but I don't necessarily disagree with your choices.
Gotta agree with the Remington 51, that should've made it IMO
And I agree about the 1910 Browning.
Another great video with outstanding closeup views of the guns. Really love what you are doing.
Miss Alex....you could tell he actually loves what he did and has " Gun Jesus" feel to him.
For once we agree, I've carried a PA-63 since 1994. After I finally bought 2 extra mag's that is.
When you opened up that case for the Walther, my eyes go so wide.
You forgot a true icon... The Model 1910/22 Browning. My grandfather had a 1907 Savage in 380. Wish I still had it. Good list, of iconic pocket pistols.
Thank you for posting this video i just remember the good ol' days my Mauser until now i'm keeping it and carrying this classic gun (it was a present from my dad )the concealing of this gun is great.
Great list.
Thanks!
R Mac Very cool!! I have a couple old Czech pistols and plan to grab some old Mausers as well ($$$ permitting). The .25ACP & .32ACP pistols are fun to shoot.
R Mac Tim @ Military Arms Channel did some penetration testing with those brands. Was very interesting. I would never carry my older pistols just because they aren't the most reliable. I love my 9mm and see no need to go larger. But smaller is an option nowadays for sure.
Well I'm now on the hunt for a Mauser 1914.
+Aniquin I still haven't found one :'(
Go to gun auctions. If you're lucky, you can get one for under$400.
Me too good looking piece.
The lines on that Walther PP is so damn elegant. Definitely a classic.
I really enjoy many of your videos because I get to see firearms that I have only read about. Very cool and very much appreciated.
top 5 unnecessarily expensive firearms? (depending on materials, manufacturing process)
Good idea!
+Go Eat A Towel Yes, this!
+Go Eat A Towel the five-seven will probably be on that list.
+Go Eat A Towel Like G41 Mauser?
Bren gun!
Want them all! Great picks, gotta love the Walther PP, when you pick one up they just become part of you. Talk about ergonomics.
The pp ppk or ppk/s(bonds) are all great guns and have the best ergonomics, their fantastic design is so simplistic especially with he mainspring over around the barrel.
U r totally right👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Second best compared to the Remington 51, though.
I would have included the Ortiges, even if I had to make it the top 6 guns. The story of this little pistol is worth a video all by itself.
I was wondering the same thing. I have several in 25 acp and 32.
Great video. Love the top 5 series of videos (and others)!
Keep up the good work.
I would love to buy a Walther PP like the one you just showed on the video. Where could I find one. What a gorgeous classic!
You are the Morgan Freeman of the gun community. Great video. You make learning about Firearms about as relaxing and enjoyable as you can get.
I have a Savage 1907 .32 ACP that I just inherited from my late father. Just fired it for the first time in more than 50 years. I can see why he used it as a CCW back in the 1960' s when he was a collector for a bank.
I have been wanting a Savage pistol since I saw Jude Law using one in the movie Road to Perdition. I finally got a model 1917 at a local pawn shop.
Your videos are truly my therapy...have a good day.
Love my Bersa Thunder cc one of the best walther clones
Compact pistols? I say screw that and carry a full size 1911
Mr pulp fiction over here
+Jacob Roy I agree on most of your points but that is very reliable
how your 14 lol
+Theoreviews Amen I carry a 4" 357 mag K frame and any of my smaller guns are all steel.
+captain nachos gaming how? It's called turning 18 in 4 years
that mauser is gorgeous, the finish and bluing looks great
mauser 1914. never heard about it. i am very much into guns. impressive
I'm sorry, but the Walther PP definitely takes the cake.
TFB TV Can you do a list of good carry options for .45s or .357s?
Thank you!
I'd watch that, lol.
I like older carry guns, the one I carry are a S&W M19-2 4" 357mag, a Bulgarian Makarov 9mm Mak, and a Pieper "Bayard" Model 1908 32 acp. Everything I carry was designed during or before the 1960's.
I realized that the video is at least 4 years old, but it's still a great video. I wouldn't have a problem carrying any of those, today. But, I'm an antique firearms junkie...
Do a review of 1903. It's so interesting
I have one its nice
1911 and Russian nagant revolver should of been on this list
Another fine video from a true and articulate enthusiast Thanks again Ted Barr
I really like that Mauser!
I think the design is really cool and unique.
That Walther is just gorgeous, with those wood grips!
hey alex c. can I borrow some more gun? - Phuc
Only with a security deposit.
+Firepower United
do da booty infiltrate
+Firepower United After what happened to the AK i doubt it ^^
+Mattebubben that's what happen when you give him the piece of shit.

Lmao this comment.
If 32 caliber pistols were okay in the thirties and forties, why then every body now a days insist that anything less than 9mm is impotent?
+Me ToYou
HaHa!!!! people are a lot stronger and tougher these days from watching all the Bad Ass movies. Need a .50 Action Express for carry.
Me ToYou because 32 is prohibited in Canada. ;)
Me ToYou because nobody wants to carry a big gun so they convince
Themselves it's adequate
The reason the 32 acp is considered inadequate now is because of how fat people have become. If the current waist line trend continues, 10mm may soon be considered the minimal acceptable caliber. (I kid I kid....well mostly kid)
I just got a Savage 1917 recently for about $200. It needed cleaning up and re-blueing. Luckily it came with original 10 round mag. All the re-pros only hold 7!!
Another great video !
1 Word:
Kolibri
Ya I will laugh at that if I see someone carrying it
You pulled it out.
Watch as the assailant falls to the ground due to laughter.
And make a run for it.
Dear TFB TV,
Your content is fantastic but for one thing - the brain-melting over panning in every video. Viewers' eyes focus on what's in the middle third of the screen, so ending a pan with a shot of your concrete floor invites us to look at the floor despite trying to focus on the gun. Consider a rapid fade to a new shot when the gun leaves the middle third of the screen - ForgottenWeapons does this really well.
Sincerely yours,
Viewer #235068
+buschwacker ^This, soooo much. It's incredibly distracting (and kinda awkward) to watch a video about guns and instead you end up watching a close-up of the floor too often...
btw HEMA ftw :^)
I must correct you, James Bond did not carry the larger PP but the smaller pocket sized PPK. I own a PPK imported in 1967 in .32 ACP, and the wife carries it as her concealed carry, with old Winchester Silver Tips. I wouldn't trade it for anything newer.
I own a 2021 walther ppk and it is by far the most fun and comfortable hand gun I have shot. 👏🏼 🥂
I'll take the m1911 and the WALTHER p-38 ANYDAY.
As a pocket pistol? Shaq, is that you?
Fn 1910????????? is very BEST!!!!!!
Miguel trombettoni pipinich it has horrible sights. But it is definitely iconic.
Love this list!
A great list and collection!
With love for Ian Fleming I'll throw in a nod to the Beretta 418 in .25 ACP
which began production in 1919.
* questions why the 1911 is not in the list *
Yes I agree
Too big those where all pistols designed to fit in your pocket without printing
Why no revolvers?
This was a list of pistols.
I have a Mauser 1914 my Pop brought home from WWII. I've fired it and it is great! Easy to shoot and very accurate and I've loved the way it looks ever since I was a kid.
I believe you have a good list there. I have fired four of the five pistols mentioned and liked them all.
1911
The 1911 is great, but it's not really a carry gun. They weigh in at just under 2.5 pounds unloaded.
killerskillet I carry one, but I'm a big guy
Chris Kelley .45's a pretty big caliber for an everyday carry weapon too. I'm over six feet tall myself, and I wouldn't consider a 1911 a weapon I'd want to lug around all day, concealed or open.
killerskillet well I'm also a big history buff and tend to say that it's proven itself a time or two
1911 its a fantastic gun and one of the best handguns of all time hands down but it just doesn't fit the "conceal carry" role. It's too big and . 45 ACP it's too much of a large round for a carry option.
I love the old Savage 1907 pistols. A friend of mine had one in .32 ACP and it was very accurate for what it was.
I now own the ppk and the savage and had the 1900 for many years, I totally agree with you list these are true classics.
So glad you mentioned the reproduction of the colt pocket pistol. I was hoping you would. Great videos.
Nice presentation. 2 more to go and we will have "your" classic carry collection complete. Love the classics.
Cool vid. thanks for the history!
The Walther PP was not banned from importation, the PPK was the only one of the series that did not meet the height requirement of the 1968 gun control act. The PPK/S was invented as a work around, it utilized a PP frame with a PPK slide and barrel making the pistol tall enough to import. The began manufacturing some PP series pistols here in the US under the Interarms name (Ranger Manufacturing), but continued manufacture of the PP and PPK/S in Germany. Eventually all German production stopped and Walther Arms had them manufactured by Smith and Wesson here in the US. Walther Arms has set up their own factory in Arkansas and they are currently produced there. The post Interarms USA made pistols are of much lesser quality than German and French made Walthers. Pre-war and early wartime pistols produced in the Zella-Mehlis factory are of the highest quality. It should be noted that although many people do carry German PP series pistols with the safety off, it is possible to have a drop fire. It would be very unlikely for this to happen but it is definitely possible. The firing pin is not secured unless the safety is on. The newer US made models have a firing pin block to prevent this. Anyway, I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I have a Mauser 1914 that I inherited from my father. He got it from a trade he made in the mid 60s. The guy he got them from said they it was a WWII bring back. He threw in another one that had a hairline crack in the slide, for parts. Not sure what happened to that one but it had Nazi markings. Since I got it in 1997 I’ve only shot it once just to make sure it still worked. Very solid little gun.
If we’re going to stick with 32 acp, I have a lot of love for the FN1922. Great little sidearm.
great video as always.
Great list!
Her: Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Me: Yes
I’m currently carrying a 1930s walther model 4 in .32acp, absolutely love this thing
I like them all great list
I have always loved Walther's PP, PPK, and PPKS from Interarms.
Awesome video, Thanks for sharing
Have two, and almost got a Whalter
PP
There's many classic pistols you missed by limiting your date to 1920. If you had brought it ten years ahead to 1930, you could have included the excellent Remington Model 51, made in .32 Auto and later .380 ACP. That's been my choice for CC. I'm sure there's quite a few others.
The savage 1907 looks so cool.
another awesome video well done keep it up
Nicely done
Gotta say I really enjoyed that! 😎👍
An excellent summary😃👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
So happy to see the model 1900! I have one and enjoy it a lot. It feels great to shoot a gun thats over 110 years old. Older inventions like these get way to little respect these days. Thank you :)
This was a fun one! Would love to have any of those
