Nice condition for a 55 year old Ian. :D Do you shoot it often?

Hi Joe. I don't shoot the pistol that often, don't want to give it too much abuse in case something breaks!!! I wouldnt know where to start to get new parts. I havent seen that many of these although a friend has one in .380.It is a fun gun to shoot although the trigger is a touch too heavy for my liking.

Regards

Ian

Mine is a model 1934 made in 1938. Yours looks identical to mine except the inscription. Could yours be a Model 1935? Looks like this model came in 7.65mm and were made until 1959.

The barrel is not original to mine and marked 380 acp instead of 9mm corto.

Take down is simple.  Pull back slide and put on safe. Pop barrel out, remove safety and pull slide forward.

Niner, nice pistol you have ther. According to a book I have, mine is the 1935. It states " The Model 1935 was a 1934 in 7.65mm calibre ". Basically the same pistol only different calibre. It looks small when you see it beside my 92FS.

Regards
