Fun stuff!
Never heard of a cast iron frame in a auto pistol! I imagine with all that weight the felt recoil is very light. How does it shoot?
Thanks for the post.
Bob

Riiiight...I can't remember what I had for dinner two nights ago, but I'm going to remember to flip the lever back in the engaged position???

It's a wall hanger...

(We had a guy back in boot camp. 1969-70...Italian immigrant, passable English, but not fluent...lemme check my boot camp 'yearbook'..."N. Dessardo"...Nice guy; always smiling...He's listed as graduating with my platoon...While at the rifle range, we spent a day 'fam-firing' the 45 auto...Somehow he got the idea that his thumb should be straight-up behind the slide when it was fired...He still had the cast on at our Final Review...

I don't need that...)

Heh...Just cleaning the frame innards...and noticed that the magazine release (at the bottom of the grip) is the 'stirrup' type...Like the M1911 trigger...Fully encircles the magazine...

I guess Browning patented the button magazine release...

(The finish is a nice brown patina...)
