My Dad legally sent back 27 pistols he acquired from German soldiers or civilians that surrendered to his platoon. He arrived back in the States in mid July and went into a military hospital near his hometown. He kept expecting the crate to show up and it didn't. Inquiries to the Army showed it arrived at a depot in Indian Gap Pennsylvania and disappeared after that. What a shame that someone...probably a Stateside soldier...purloined those pistols, when my Dad acquired them honsetly in combat.

My stepfather brought a Reising model 55 home from WWII. It was a very interesting piece and I grew up with it in the house. He passed away when I was eleven years old and later on, my mother's new husband turned it in to the Sanford Police Department in Florida because he hated guns. I would love to see it again, but I suspect it's long, long gone as I'm nearing sixty. Thanks for letting me see my old friend one more time, even if it's not the same one. I look forward to visiting your museum and own several of your current production rifles. Regards, Brett .

Reason for the Rising's lower capacity mags was those two ribs reduced bearing surface, by nature friction on the cartridges and made them feed far better. Also they give sand an area to play. You see this in sten mags with the brass rod conversions and even beretta as a modern example with the less intrusive m9a1 magazine rib.
@MysticTheDarkElf

So the mention of reliability for the Reising was one of the reasons why they went with the 12 round single-stack magazines versus the original full capacity ones. Being double-stack but single-feed affected the reliability, along with them not being super sturdy. The simple fix was to add reinforcing ribs to the inside of the magazines, which in turn limited capacity, but it did help with some of the issues the gun had with malfunctions.

On the Reisings the reason they came up with those crimped mags was so sand was less likely to make the magazines hang up. Similar to the sand cuts on a FAL bolt by making the walls of the magazine have less contact with the rounds and the follower the sand could be pushed out of the way. The french came up with the same thing for the MAT 49 bloke on the range has a video about the MAT 49 sand magazines

I am sure you are right about the rising single stack mags . When I deployed to OIF the double stack M9 mags didn't even need to get dusty and they would jam up - I have read that it had something to do with a batch of mags that were too well parkerized. Anyway I no longer trust double stack single feed mags and would much rather have one good single stack mag that I trust, than any number of high cap mags that may or may not be reliable. That .30 carbine reising looks like a good idea. If it had of been adopted it might have cost about 1/2 what a m1 carbine cost. A lot like the Cristobal carbine from Dominican republic.

Being able to actually touch and hold or better yet, fire these rare speciments is a beautiful thing. Something we Canadians will never be able to do, well not openly. I'm sure there's some collectors that squirreled away a few pieces simply because they can't bring themselves up to parting with their beloved pieces of history.

"The Germans were light-years ahead of the rest of the world" then how come they didn't develop THE bomb first? Or the variable timed fuse? They couldn't make a naval gun larger than 15", unlike the "backwards" Japanese 18" guns. American naval fire controls were the best in the world. Germany did produce some interesting novelties, but nothing that was so revolutionary it was beyond the allies grasp. Probably the only two technologies that Germany had over the allies was rocketry and swept wing aerodynamics. However VonBraun got his start building on the work of Godard (American) and the US had already identified the aerodynamic problems with high speed compressability (which was not being researched by the Germans) so they weren't "decades" ahead of everyone else. They were just exploiting novel approaches to issues that weren't prioritizes to the allies. How'd that work out for 'em?
