1938 s/42

Finally had a chance to take it to the range. It shot very well with both the original magazine and a new mecgar. I put WWB 124 grain and Sellier and Bellot 115 grain through it without any hiccups. The only real problem I had was seeing the sights. I had some range glasses on that I haven't used in a long time and that along with it being an indoor range may have contributed. I thought it might have a lot of muzzle flip with the 4 inch barrel, but it really didn't for me. Funny, but the thing I liked most about it was when the toggle locks open. You absolutely know when the gun is empty. I can feel the addictiveness of this gun every time I pick it up. What have I gotten myself into?
