when I joined the old and the bold in 1966 we where still using the 38....sometime later we where issued with 9mm Browning...although I was an expert with the 7.62(SLR-LMG-GPMG) I would have to admit that it was very difficult to hit the bull in the static target with 38 or 9mm let alone a moving target!In my job I had the choice of 9mm browning or Sterling SMG....I always plumped for the SMG although to be fair it was also not very accurate...in conclusion I would also agree that the Inglis weapons where very well made as where the pickaxe handles which was the very first weapon I was issued with!!!! best regards malcolm
