Contents • • • • • History [ ] L. Was started as a pistol smithing company in 1973 specializing in conversions for the. At the time, there were no commercially available double-action 1911 pistols anywhere in the world. In 1978, Seecamp specialized in the miniaturization of pistols.
The Seecamp patented spring system is currently used in almost every locked breech miniaturized semi-auto pistol. In 1981 Seecamp ventured into firearms manufacturing, beginning with the LWS-25. Models [ ] All Seecamp pistols are (DAO), and are similar in size.
Barrel length is 2.06 inches (5.2 cm), and weight is 11.5 ounces (330 g). Grips are glass-filled nylon and checkered. These pistols are not equipped with sights because they are intended for use at close range. The Seecamp, like the pistol, utilizes a very compact and reliable DAO trigger mechanism. Each pull of the trigger first cocks then releases the hammer. The hammer follows the slide after each shot and rests in the down position.
The original Seecamp model was the LWS-25 chambered in and manufactured from 1981 through 1985, with a total production of about 5000 units. It used traditional operation with a magazine capacity of 7 rounds. The.25 ACP model was dropped shortly after the introduction of the version. Seecamp's second model, the LWS-32 was designed around the only.32 ACP ammunition available at the time, Winchester Silvertips. Ammunition with an overall length exceeding 0.910' (23.1mm) may not feed or chamber correctly. Operation is through where a raised ring at the rear of the chamber retards the rearward motion of the slide. This model uses a magazine with a capacity of 6 rounds.
The LWS-32 remains Seecamp's most popular firearm. During the height of demand, production guns were selling out years in advance with individual guns selling for up to US$1000.
There were 20 sets made in both.25 ACP and.32 ACP with matching serial numbers in 1988. In 1999 Seecamp introduced a third model, the LWS-380 chambered in. The LWS-380 is the same size as the LWS-32. Influence [ ] In 1997, introduced their Guardian pistol in.32 ACP attempting to compete with the smaller sized Seecamp and Rocky Bannister of Autauga Arms released a near clone of the Seecamp LWS-32. Seecamp sales remained unaffected despite the availability of a near clone alternative. Further competition is provided by in the form of their and polymer-framed pistols which are bigger in profile but lighter and thinner. Soundtrack Transporter 1 there.
