Tom,

Interesting, thanks. Whoever was 'in charge' of finishing that part of the pistol in 1917, they must have sacked (or shot) him somewhere in 1918, as it stopped around that period.

Truth is, that in 1917 the production reached it's peak and pistol production was slowed down again in late 1917 due to overproduction issues. The surviving numbers of 1917 pistols and ammunition are a testament to that.
