    Great video. Enjoyed watching some nice classics in action. They also appeared in superb condition too.

    I'm not sure which is better, Mariana's camera work, or your pistol shooting skills

    Thanks everyone,
    glad you like it.

    I'll pass congrats on to Mariana too.

    I feel I should mention that when we began filming this the Zenit missed the 10 yd spinner a few times so I just said 'I'll shoot the Zenit at the tin can', and that take (with the subsequent pistols hitting on target) was a success.

    Feeling bad for the lovely Zenit I then tried to do some retakes but starting with the Zenit aiming at the 10 yd spinner.
    I have to report that it hit the spinner multiple times but then I would invariably miss with one of the following pistols.
    Loath to have any unnecessary edits I had to stick with the most successful run in which the Zenit only hit the tin can.
    I wouldn't want anyone to go away thinking the Zenit is inaccurate, in fact I think it's a fantastic pistol design and I'll be shooting a nice Milbro G4 I got from John M in a later instalment.

    I can see why so many other companies copied the design. I'm assuming it's a lot easier to manufacture than a Webley overlever copy?

    Hopefully there won't be such a wait for part 3

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Great video, love the fact that you included the lowly FB LP3. A much underated pistol.
