(stolen and modified from Black Adder) Ah.. I see. Should it be a CZ 27 that Mark suggested, it would cause less of a bump under your pillow than a revolver.. probably with the holster too if it had one. So many of these things were floating around after the war. My dad had a Colt .45 and holster with ammo he got off a Yank that he kept for a while (well before my time I might add) but my mom has never liked guns of any description so she made him sling it and the lot ended up in the bottom of a quarry which has long since been filled in. Also had a family member with a 9mm Mauser which was an heirloom from WW1 but that got handed in years ago. Point is, we don't really need to keep these things do we.
