Safari Arms Matchmaster
Notes: This is a
1911-type pistol with a number of interesting features, such as a Smith & Wesson
“K” Sight, a Commander-type hammer, an ambidextrous safety, an enlarged ejection
port, special magazines designed to feed flawlessly, and a squared-off trigger
guard. The grip has a finger groove
for the middle finger. The Matchmaster can be had with a Teflon coating,
chromed, stainless steel, blued, or even with a frame of a light alloy called
Armaloy.

Savage
Notes:
Early in the 20th century, the firm of Savage Arms produced
three pistols. All were virtually
identical; the 1907 had large grip serrations on the slide and a serrated
hammer; the 1915 added a grip safety and had no hammer; and the 1917 had a spur
hammer and a wedge-shaped grip. The
1915 model is the most common one; in addition to large numbers of sales to US
civilians, they were also sold to the Portuguese Army and later handed down to
the Guarda Nacional de Republica.
From there, the Portuguese models were sold off to civilians and some Portuguese
and Spanish police departments in the 1950s, and they are still rather common in
Southern Europe. The pistols were
regarded as of excellent quality and can still be expected to be in good
condition.

Seecamp LWS-380
Notes: Billed as
the smallest .32ACP on the market, the LWS-32 is definitely one the smallest
pistols in the world, at 108mm long complete and 0.45 kg.
The barrel is very short at 2 inches. It was designed for Texas’
concealed firearms market.
The LWS-380 is
basically a larger version of the LWS-32, firing the .380 ACP cartridge instead
of the .32 ACP. It is actually
lighter than the LWS-32. The LWS-380 was actually first devised in 2000, but
problems with putting the .380 ACP round into such a small package (it’s only a
tiny bit larger than the LWS-32) delayed actual production until early 2004.
Due to the low weight and small size, the recoil of the LWS-380 can be
substantial.
Twilight 2000
Notes: This is an exceedingly rare weapon in the Twilight 2000 timeline, but can
be found in some cases.
