Just want to know what people know about these German Revolvers, they got a bad reputation and I just dont see why, I have six pistols and they are all unbelievably accurate. Thanks for your input.

Well put it this way: every time you load up a full cylinder you double the value of the revolver.
During the 60's , 70's and early 80's there was a slew of W German manufactures that built cheap handguns for the US market. Pot metal frames, poor quality steel, questionable heat treats no parts available.
Right up there with Jennings, Lorcin, Bryco etc.
I will not waste my time working on them.
Throw down guns.

If you turn them in at the next "buy back" program for tickets to a Pee Wee hockey game your getting a great deal.

I figured it was like a German Hi-point but I really like them I heard alot of bad stuff about them locking up, but I have not had any problems with them so I was just wondering were there rep came from, now I dont own anything bigger than a 32, and I am now getting into the 38 special so we will see how will the frame holds up. Out of all my Revolvers Ruger S&W Taurus ect that 7 shot 32 S&W Arminius is my favorate gun to shoot,
