Picked this one up recently and just wanted to know if any members have one of these. This is the compact or 3 3/8 inch barrel model. Somewhat hard to find from what I read. Did all the research I could and just curious about personal experiences with this out of production pistol. The pistol has all its parts including the elusive spring loaded ejector that is often lost.
Apparently a lot of pistols were produced in several calibers. Most articles I have found center on the 10mm models. I shot this one today and it needed to have the extractor spring replaced. As parts are scarce, I used a cut down Browning Hi Power extractor spring I had laying around and after about an hour testing several adjustments I made to the spring length the pistol ran flawlessly. Interesting to me and fun as well. Let me know if you have one of these and what has been your experience. Most reviews on the web say they are junk. This one looks like it was only fired sparingly and not banged up or sloppy fit. It does have some handling marks, but overall very nice condition. The fella I got if from said it belonged to his Grandfather. He must have taken good care of it.
I did not strip the grips off the frame as folks said they are integral to the function of the pistol. The left grip houses the slide release lever spring. If you have one of these models and have taken the grips off to completely strip the gun, please let me know so I could possibly get some photos.
Anyway, a few photos. Thanks for looking.
