When suppressors were new and before they were heavily taxed by the NFA, they were often used for indoor target shooting, such as in a parlor or bar. Fun fact about them also, they were invented by the same man who invented the car muffler (they work on pretty much the same principle). That man was Hiram Percy Maxim, son of the inventor of the machine gun.

@@steamstream777 The modern definition of machine gun excludes manually operated guns like the Gatling and its 1718 predecessor, the Puckle gun. The first known use of the term was in 1722 to describe the Puckle, so even with the old definition, Gatling was not the first. By modern definition, the Gatling is a rotary cannon.

Thank you, History Guy, for explaining the bullet holes in my grandmother's basement wall! I remember my Big Mama telling me that my uncle had gotten her a pistol when she moved alone into her final house. When I asked where she practiced, she replied that my uncle set up targets for her, but she had hunted rabbits as a teenager on her family's farm, so she didn't need much help, to his shock! She never did say exactly where. Now those marks in the block make sense! He must've put up board behind the targets that she shot straight through! I guess she must've thought it would be shocking to find out your Big Mama shot up the basement!

So its much larger and thinner than a nuke bunker but we (the neighbors and anyone passing through) have used it many times over the generations to dive into when the sky turns black and the sirens start.

The Police Positive frame would have been the perfect base for these revolvers. The original Police Positives were Colts lightweight duty revolvers meant for clerks and desk sergeants, but quickly found popularity among patrolman and citizens alike for its lightweight nature and drop safe capability. In fact Al Capone himself stated the Police Positive Special was his favorite revolver and was very fond of them. Originally chambered in .38S&W, the Police Positive soon was improved with a slightly longer frame and cylinder to accommodate the new powerful(for the time) .38 S&W Special, or as we know it as the .38 Special. Chambering it in a .32cal cartridge would make it a rather shootable and easy to handle firearm for weaker statured folks. Based on images alone it seems like what makes a target model is the adjustable sights, in contrast to the originals that had gutter sights.

Hate to break it to you but that gun doesn't exist.

Erma made the long barreled versions that are more faithful to the originals but they were only founded in 1922 and at no point ever made actual Lugers. Actual Lugers were only ever made in .30 Luger, 9mm, and a very small handful of prototypes in .45 ACP. Either that guy had an actual artillery Luger that he incorrectly thought was a .22 or he had a pot metal plinker from 1967 at the earliest.
