A cheap pos then and an expensive pos now. I'd love to have one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a one shot .45acp derringer, hardly an offensive gun. Nostalgia aside, still a pos though. Still would like to have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have one. One of the legends around it was that it took longer to load than to manufacture. Now, it takes 7 to 10 seconds to reload, and Guide Lamp factories, over the short production life, turned out an average of one every 7 point something seconds. But that doesn't really tell how long each one took because of multiple assembly lines and many workers doing the machine work and assembly.

Pat Riot Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 I saw a Liberator at a gun show a few months back. The seller had a. $425 price tag on it. The guy had it in a display case. Upon closer inspection something just didn’t look right. It was a reproduction. The guy selling it came over and stated it was a reproduction then flipped up the little sign that said so on it. Someone had knocked it over. You can buy them here: https://vintageordnance.com/t/fp-45-liberator-pistol This actually looks like what he had for his display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sign says "wet paint do not pass". That tells me that the yellow stripe is wet paint. So he is staying far away from the yellow stripe so he won't drive on the wet paint. Sign don't say diddly poop about the white stripe being wet. It says the yellow stripe is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
