First Gun

[jettydog]

Went on my third magnet fishing outing this morning, found lots of stuff as usual but nothing great and loads of junk.
I did get my first gun today and I am pretty sure it was a Glock 9. It was pretty crusty but still could make out the entire shape of it.
I called the local cops in Mays Landing N.J. and they came and got it. No way was I bringing it to them lol. that could end badly.
It was very interesting to say the least and the cops wanted to know about my magnets so I said maybe you guys should get some for the department lol. Anyway I was out for around 4 hours and had a blast. I'll post some pics later

That salt water is hell on metal. Look on the map for a freshwater doc in one of the rivers or lakes and the stuff you bring up should be in much better shape.

Definitely not a glock! Looks like a cheapo highpoint

Thanks man, I am not a big hand gun person so I wasn't sure.

Not Hi-point they have ugly bulky slides.

Might be in the EAA 380 family Russian steel
It almost looks like a Markov 9 replica. Does
The grip have a "star" on it?

Glocks are mostly Polymer - metal guides for the rail, springs
Firing pin. Glock did make an almost all polymer gun for
Air Marshals at one time.

It is a German version of the Markov 9 design
which is wannabe of the Walther PP.

Very cool find.

That looks like it, same symbol on the grip I believe.

It makes me sad because, that is/was a very good shooting gun.
Feel sorry for who ever lost it.

 

[jettydog]

Trying to see the grip a little better but I think you nailed it.

 

[Chiltepin]

I'm a collector- the Russian markov 9×18mm has been on my list
for years.

That is a Makarov, I've got a few of them. The Chinese copy used the "thumb shelf" on the grip like the one shown in the photo.
