Do any modern handguns use attachable butt stocks?

---

Not really current but the Russian Stechkin comes to mind.

Glock makes a plastic shoulder stock more or less for the 18 (Full Auto) for controllability.

Also nearing "modern", the Browning Capitan. I had one for some years (Registered SBR as per US law). The problem is that the stocks really don't do much good. The open rear sight is very close to the eye and thus blurs out for most folks and the long-range sights become quite a joke in practice. With a peep I can see how the C96 and Luger long barrel jobs might work out pretty well or at least present some value.

The Canadian military did extensive testing with their Inglis High Powers and decided the stock was a waste of time. I had plans to write an article about them and did extensive shooting with mine and came to the same conclusion. I could shoot a pistol as well w/o as with the stock. I will say I am a very good pistol shot, so maybe (?) one with really sub-par skills might find the stock useful? The only application I myself found advantageous was when very fatigued. Then it was a quantifiable help. I did this in testing while doing ski sprints. But otherwise...no.

Similar stock to the artillery Lugers (2) we had in the Store in Vancouver, mid 70's.

---

The holster stock.

I made a skeleton rig for carrying it. Similar to the various German & Chinese setups. Heavier leather.

your high power with shoulder stock is a short barrel rifle so must be legal!

That's interesting.
Here in B.C., for turkey, air rifle, rimfire or shotguns only.

Isn't a flintlock rifle a rimfire?

---

flintlock is a stone fire
serious? center fire rifles and muzzle loader are nor legal?

I had a look and yes the Browning HiPower seems to have a wooden holster, butt stock, similar to the C96. I wasn't aware of that at all.

The Browning HiPower had a good reputation as a handgun. Why did they stop using it?

Australian Military used it, the SASR often did, and many other countries.

---

dont know if any high power have the notch for the shoulder stock, pre war FN and canadian Inglis have it. a repro C 96 shoulder stock should fit.

Ancient expensive production technology. Worn out tooling. Single Action-only. Controls/manual or arms out of fashion. Glock popularized the radical new approach to gun making introduced by H&K w/ their VP70 & VP70Z and case closed.

---

Glock? That's funny. What clown military uses a Block?

No it's because you have to "modernise" to keep the profits flowing into the arms industry owners pockets.

Probably all metal quality construction costs too much. Plastic crap is cheaper.
