Edgar Budischowsky
Edgar Budischowsky (23 July 1940 - 16 October 2025) 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. 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.
