I have heard that they are great pistols, but some of them can do with new springs, and some of them had used bores, which brings up another quandry, that is, did production end in the late thirties, or did production continue on into the 50's, and I say, that, yes, they, the Chinese, did re-use existing machinery to not only produce the .45 after the 30's, but long after, as in, into the 50's and beyond, cause hey, they were they were the Chinese, known infamously as employing any and all weapons systems they could salvage, buy, be given, and make, to put in the hands of their millions of regular military and home militias.
