RL Auction - 1900 Swiss

Excellent! Very nice pistol, and you're all set now, having installed the needed un-numbered original parts! Four of my shooters, won also on RIA, came to me a little cheaper because of their issues, half of which were things like grip safety springs. I'd love to have one of these 1900 configuration pistols that's a shooter! I envy your great fortune!

Very nice!

Be sure to check the firing pin guide - they break or crack and you can't tell until you take it out.

I striped her all the way down and all looks well. Did not put a loupe on the parts, but with all marked parts, I will not be shooting her anyway! My gunsmith rated the gun at 90%. The strawed extracted I replaced came from the factory unnumbered so no error no foul. The straw on all the parts match. It will take a while for the newness to ware off for me!
