Les armes de poing d'Indy à la sauce française !
New on www.jones-jr.com, "la page handguns" !
Wow! That is an awesome site. You really did your homework on the Smith and Wessons. However, I can't read any of the information. Is there anyway you could put that handgun page up in English? I really want to read all the info because it looks like the definitive website for the handguns.
Also, who did you have cut down your Smiths and where did you get the black rubber grips? Thanks again and great job on the website!

I agree they did a good job. They even used one of MY pictures of Lee's replica and Lee's S&W. And pictures from Indy Gear. Hmmmm....
For you non-French reading people, you can first go to:
http://www.systransoft.com/
From there, paste in the url for the site you want to translate. Then make sure to select, "French" to "English" and you can read most of it given that this was a machine translation.

Oops. The above systran link only translates the first 32K. This link below translates the whole page. This is the Alta Vista version, but it uses Systran to transalte:

I put a button of machine translation on the pages!
I found the grips on ebay! And the Smith & Wesson were modified by a French arms manufacturer.
Afflicted Sergei to have borrowed your image ! May I keep it in your crediting?
I’m not a pirate! The only photograph coming from Indy Gear is the Lee Keepler’s handgun from Raiders, but I added a link to Indy Gear.
Best regards from Paris

Very nice site and write up. The only thing I saw that I didn't understand was your statement that the Colt .45 (cousin to the P-35) was produced between 1911 and 1924. Not sure where you got that information, as the Colt .45 is still in production to this day, with no interruptions of manufacture since it's creation. Other than that, enjoyable reading. Regards. Michaelson
Colt .45
The "Colt Government model of 1911 Caliber .45" was produced from 1912 thru 1924ish. The model was adopted by the US government as the "United States Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911" as of March 28th, 1911 production did not begin until 1912 however.
Models produced after 1924 were intitially called "Improved" the 1911A1 designation not arriving until shortly before the war, but the US government considers the 1911A1 to have been adopted as of May 20, 1924.
I believe the French website is distinguishing between the model 1911, and the model 1911A1.
