Edgar Budischowsky
German firearm designer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edgar Budischowsky is a West German firearm designer, whose designs were produced by Korriphila and BUDISCHOWSKY-Waffen GmbH Ulm/Donau in Germany, and Norton Armament in the United States.
Among his creations were the TP-70 double-action pocket pistol in .22 and .25 calibre, based on an amalgamation of Colt and Walther designs.[1] It was later produced by Norton of Mount Clemens, Michigan, as the TP-70, or "Budischowsky" from 1973-1977; the Michigan models were of better quality than later models made in Florida and Utah.[2]
His most prominent design was the roller delayed blowback HSP 701, which was produced in the 1980s in Heidelberg, Germany at high prices, made to measure,[3] and very low volumes of around 30 pistols produced per year.[4]
