POTD: Shooting the B&T VP-9
Later today we will be publishing many photos taken by my good friend Erik. I wanted to highlight this photo of the Brügger & Thomet VP-9 pistol, the first I have seen of the unusual pistol actually being fired. The B&T VP-9 is essentially a 21st century reimagining of the Welrod, the British covert bolt action pistol used during WWII. It is fully suppressed, magazine fed and has a bolt action.
Jonathan Ferguson, who has access to Britain remaining Welrods, wrote an excellent article for us last year about the VP-9.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Looks like a "Sandman's" Plasma Pistol, for the 1976 movie Logan's Run...
