Mystery Pistol

According to The Firearm Blog, there's a mystery machine pistol showing up across Europe.

Evidently it's marked "MADE OF USA TEC-9 FOR HOLLAND & HOLLAND" and I snorted coffee across the desk when I saw that.  It's not a Tec-9, and I doubt seriously that Holland & Holland wants anything like that associated with their name.

Interesting.  I had heard of firearms made with no markings, to be untraceable back to a given country.  I get that, but what good does it do to mark a firearm so ridiculously that no one believes the marking in the first place?  Only the most idiotic dullard would believe that this is either a Tec-9, or was made for Holland & Holland.

Looks like the kind of "cottage industry" weapon made in Darra Adam Khel village in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. I wonder....

Agree with Kahn. Made for for spray/pray gangsters.
