Thanks Don, ( and everyone else ) .
Its a real shame i cant talk to my Dad about this stuff ( he passed away last week ) , because it is very interesting. Although we both enjoyed shooting and guns in general, he was in Florida and Im up here in Maryland, so it was hard to get together.
It is however , very therapeutic to learn about his guns, and carry on his hobby, which is now mine to a much greater extent. Thanks so much for the help !
Now I just need to decide if I should fire the gun, ( i'm not even sure what ammo it takes, 9mm i think) and learn how to break it down and clean it, or just keep it as is....or even get the grip repaired like some one suggested.....??
