A beautiful firearm! Some gun enthusiasts believe the M1910 Glisenti was an awful gun, but I can’t remember the reason why. I think it had something to do with the power of the cartridge?
Yes, a beauty she truly is.And is not this old lady a beauty?
You are right. Even in Italy at the time there was a lot of criticism regarding the adoption of a 9mm cartridge, dimensionally the same as the 9x19mm Parabellum but with a reduced charge. The lower powered cartridges was dictated by the design and action of the weapon (the locking mechanism was the same of the M1914 Fiat-Revelli light machine gun wich made it a hybrid between a locked-breech ad a retarded blowback weapon) , but it was still a relatively powerful cartridges for a blowback pistol. It produced a muzzle volocity of 290 meters per second as compared to the 330 meters per second of the 9x19mm Parabellum.A beautiful firearm!

And this is not all. By doing some research I was able to put together Italo's short but intense life.Beautiful photos of the entire grouping. That's also a really incredible background story. Incredibly Impressive.
Wow, that is most incredibly Impressive. I look foreword to seeing his M1903 Uniform.I can show Italo Tinazzi in this post-card photo of the period. He wear a M1903 artillery uniform that I'll show you later.
