Handguns Descriptions

Browning Buck Mark Plus Stainless

Every Buck Mark starts out as a solid piece of aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum alloy, and then is CNC machined to exacting tolerances. The straight blowback design offers simplicity and reliability. The crisp single-action trigger, hand-reamed chamber, target crowned barrel and fiber optic front sight with an adjustable Pro-Target rear sight mean the Buck Mark Plus UDX comes ready straight from the box. Comfortable and secure in any condition, Ultragrip DX ambidextrous grips have slight finger grooves and laser stippling in a lovely walnut, rosewood or black laminate wood finish. The narrow profile makes them perfect for all hand sizes. Buck Mark Plus models feature a slabside barrel with finger grooves along the blued receiver and the signature gold Buck Mark trigger. Walnut and rosewood models have a matte blue finish while the black laminate has a stainless slide and barrel.

Lacoste Engineering LDP (Land Defense Pistol)

The LDP (Land Defense Pistol) was a submachine gun designed by Alex du Plessis in Salisbury Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in mid-1970s. It was manufactured by Lacoste Engineering. The name LDP stands either for “Land Defense Pistol” or for “Lacoste – Du Plessis”. Because of its appearance and origin, LDP was sometimes called as “Rhuzi” (Rhodesian Uzi). Apartheid regime used it not only in the Republic of South Africa, but also in the then so-called Rhodesia, today Zimbabwe. Foreseeing the need for a domestic firearms industry, the Rhodesians set up machineries to manufacture locally this submachineguns for "Counter-Terror Forces", actually to provide their oppression forces with weapons to fight the rebels of the African National Congress. Latter manufacture of the LDP as semi-auto carbine was moved to South African republic, where it was made by Kommando Arms Manufacturing Corporation as “Kommando LDP”. Eventually a total of about 10,000 were made between the two countries, making this one of the most common guns of its type made in that time and place.
