The Hungarian and German 37M: Why Is It So Good?

[@risaldar6925]

Reminds me of a Radom, keep making videos of old pistols like these, I love em.

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

These are outstanding very well made pistols. Great review.

[@robertdunbar5854]

I realize this video is a year old , but , I have a Hungarian version 37m (Now I know what it is ) that my dad brought back from Belgium WWII. I've always thought it looked like a well made pistol and finally figured out it was chambered in .380 . It has been in a safe with holster since he returned. Never fired , just looked at occasionally. I really appreciate the info you have given on these weapons. I'm going to get some .380 and go try er out ! Thank you

[@kyleschafer6275]

I have the hungarian in .380, they're fun as hell to shoot, used it as an open carry weapon for a while.

[@kyleschafer6275]

@@ahmet42selim65 No, more like open carried into work everyday, I did LEO shit for a while.

@@kyleschafer6275 cool i would always imagine how would it be to open carry a milsup pistol for duty Have u ever thought of carrying a luger ?

[@jaxg9451]

I have a jhv41 I inherited from my father. I never heard where he acquired it from. Very well made. Thanks for this video. Excellent job.

[@puppetguy8726]

15:47 I'm a bit surprised the design of the holster hasn't been simplified that late in the war. Very fancy with few rivets.

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

Good info. Please more pistol videos.

[@Berthier_Enjoyer]

I actually think that the earlier ones had the St. Stephen's Crown, while the later ones had the full the Hungarian crest. It seems like most show up in the 200,000+ serial number range which have the crest and not just the crown like the earlier ones.

[@tamaspapai4921]

The crown was used for the public market, the crest for the Hungarian army handguns. Of course only of the first pieces were available for private buyers, thanks for the forced rearmament of army started in 1938 to replace the old 29M models. The first serial number was 50001 and about 175K pieces were produced.

Well done Ahmet! 👏

Thanks i was shocked when ive seen it righ off when i returned from shopping ≧∇≦

[@ronmartin3755]

I have one of these and shot it for the first time yesterday on 9/11/2021. I found the trigger terrible! The gun belonged to my father in law and he had two daughters and no sons and one daughter never married and I married his oldest daughter so I got the pistol when he passed last year. I have finally broken down and ordered a trigger pull gauge today and it arrives tomorrow. So I will find out what the pull weight is. I am guessing it is around 15lbs! I have heard they were all fairly heavy pulls. Are the ones you own like this? My pistol according to the inet was made in 1943 during the war. But it is a regular Hungarian pistol with no German markings or manual safety. My father-in-law says his older friend owned it and sold it to him. He was in WWII and my father-in-law was in the Korean war. Mine is on .380 and has a fairly stout recoil!! Nice video by the way. And yes continue to place the firearm you are using in your videos on a stand. I have watched a ton of gun videos and when a guy is talking while holding a firearm they wave it around and make everyone seasick! Ian McCollum has the best presentation on firearm videos. He normally site at a tab;e with the object propped up on a desk or table in front of him. Watch one of his videos if you haven't already and sort of do something similar. C&Arsenal/s Othais has a good presentation as well. One thing I dislike is the guys who start their video with them running around shooting like a mad man in a war! Glad you don't do this!

[@58limited]

Thanks for the video. I have a Hungarian version. The sights never bothered me but I don't shoot mine much past 15 yards. I used mine to qualify for my CHL two different times, my scores were 245/250 and 247/250. My other .380 barely hits the black at 15 yards but the 37M shoots well.

[@puppetguy8726]

15:50 Is that cloth piece a Swedish m/1940 triangular tent/rain protection?

[@MilsurpWorld]

Yup

[@ahmet42selim65]

First!!! Yeah u are right it realy looks like a 1911 but its more like in between of the fn browling 1910

[@serioussoldier7977]

Great video, also since no one else has mentioned it, I got a kick out of the vampire you snuck in there with Frommer lol.

[@MilsurpWorld]

Thanks for mentioning! That was actually Uncle Fester from the Addams Family.

[@serioussoldier7977]

@@MilsurpWorld have you made a video on the SVT-40? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@tamaspapai4921]

JHV is the code of the FÉG company in the german factory code system, below the number is the last 2 digits of the year it was produced.

[@MrJerry160]

I've handled a refinished 43 and the 41 contract was so much tighter but I don't know how much the metal was removed before the rebluing.

[@newpeupyoass]

They had the budget to mill the anti-glare pattern on the slide, but not driftable or readable sights?

[@veprstreak3041]

I mean if you have sun glare in your eyes, you can’t really read the sights anyhow lol. I do get what you mean though.

[@NicolasNavarro-t3q]

SENEARU-EEOYVER ES GEPCYAR R.T. 37M I’m trying to find out more information about this gun. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@Marcus-rs6fr]

How many bullets do they hold? I assume the german one has 8

[@58limited]

.380 ACP: 7 + 1

[@mig-2188]

The length of the pipe is not 110mm but 100mm!

[@1982asd]

These pistols are in extremely good condition and even the holsters that come with them (although it's not a Hi Power, which became epoch-making, isn't it) The German version was better, but the entire 37m was developed from the 29 M. pistol and really fits the hand, which is outdated in terms of design. already has a better construction, but the 29M. worth considerable money these days

[@MilsurpWorld]

You see my 29M video?

[@jackertl6416]

Hold the gun next time keep up the good work

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

50K was where they started... You know the serial number of mine since you like palindromes :). It is a great shooter... but to me the thing even worse than the sights is the atrocious heel release. It is even worse than most heel releases, so if you need to do a quick mag change, you are absolutely screwed.

[@MilsurpWorld]

The 37M heel release isn't that bad to me. The worst is the FN 1900 style.

For the entire period of 1920 Hungary till the begins of Hungary Socialism, 90% of the lands are owns by the Church, which also had extensive powers over the country politics, social and economic laws.
