This video provides a side-by-side comparison of the French 1935A and 1935S pistols. The reviewer tests their accuracy at 10 yards, performance on a steel plate at 30 yards, and rapid-fire capabilities at 5 yards. Both pistols were officially adopted by the French military and share the 7.65mm French Long cartridge and a Browning-type tilting barrel action, though their internal mechanics differ. The reviewer expresses a personal preference for the 1935A due to its more predictable trigger and comfortable grip. The availability of quality 7.65mm French Long ammunition is also highlighted.
This video documents a shooting attempt with a MAS-38 submachine gun that has recently cleared NFA transfer. The primary challenge faced is the scarcity of its unique 7.65 French Long ammunition, which has been out of production for decades. The owner acquired ammunition from Buffalo Arms, but it fails to feed and fire correctly, a common issue with uncommon calibers. The creator plans to engage companies like Starline to restart production of new brass for this cartridge, which would also benefit owners of the 1935A and 1935S pistols.
