This video explores the Systema Obregon, a unique Mexican adaptation of the Browning 1911. Patented in 1934 and 1938, it features a rotating barrel locking system and integrated safety lever/bolt stop, eliminating the need for a plunger tube. With only around 800 produced at the Fabrica de Armas factory in Mexico City, it was not adopted by the Mexican military and was limited to private sales. The video delves into its design innovations and historical context, highlighting its rarity.
This video explores the history and shooting of the Trejo Model 1 Machine Pistol. Produced by a small Mexican family company between the late 1940s and early 1970s, these pistols were primarily chambered in .22 LR and styled after the Colt 1911. Notably, Mexican law at the time permitted ownership of fully automatic rimfire firearms, leading to select-fire variants of the Model 1 and Model 2. Despite their limited practical use due to small magazine capacity and high rate of fire, these select-fire Trejos are considered fun recreational machine guns. The video highlights the rarity of registered examples, likely due to a lack of registration prior to import restrictions and the cost of the NFA tax at the time.
