Trejo Model 1 Machine Pistol: Shooting and History
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.
