IOF PIstol

Post by Doctore » Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:16 am

Hello!

I have a IOF .32 Revolver from last 4 years, my gunsmith has suggested that the IOF .32 Pistol is good and I ought to sell my revolver and buy the pistol.

The arm is primarily for self defence.

Veterans please advice.

Are you happy with your revolver? Does it work well?
If the answer is yes, tell the gunsmith to stuff it.

This is an IOF product. If it works well, keep it.
There is no guarantee that another IOF product will work well or at all.

I like pistol over revolver because
1. Pistol is thinner, therefore easy to carry.
2. No barrel/cylinder gap in pistol.
3. Revolver ammo burn very dirty so comparatively pistol is easy to clean.
5. Lighter trigger pull than Revolver.

Definitely there are some advantages of revolver too over pistol.

My experience with IOF pistol is that you may get one failure to feed or failure to fire once in around one hundred rounds. Not bad for Indian pistol....you will have to select your pistol carefully though as said by xl_target....

If it works, keep it.

Revolvers have a simpler mechanism than pistols and seldom fail. If it's for that moment when u need it, then it must work, pistol or revolver.

The revolver is generally fail proof.

Funny. I was considering the opposite - i.e. replacing ashani with iof mk IV :roll:

I am planing to purchase an IOF .32 Revolver, but some of friends suggest me to go for Pistol instead of revolver. Friends please guide me,

I would go for the Ashani as the revolvers I have seen, have a trigger which you can't squeeze smoothly. The Ashani has other problems like a bad magazine but maybe that's only in my one. The new black finish ones seem better.

Could someone eloborate what is rollover test. Is it process of making magazine empty manually? If yes, can it guarantee to get rid of jamming problem if working fine in manual mode? If we load and unload full magazine in manual mode once, will those same ammo fired without any trouble in Same magazine.
Thanks
