First time I've heard this, John! Rather ambitious aspirations, I must say--particularly since there were so many problems in fit and function with the original calibers for these.

Something I've noticed about this series is that the extractors went through 3 different designs. The pistol I have has an extractor that is like the P.08, but without the "ears" on the sides. I think there's an album by someone on the site which shows these variations in extractor design, discernible in the range of stainless guns documented and posted...
