Have shot a few full size Red 9s in the past, but never got a chance to fire one of those reworked short barrel Weimar police Red 9. Today tried one instance.

The gun is in excellent shape, but it has no wood stock. From the stock connecting slot on the back of the grip, I doubt it has ever had a stock attaching to it. None of these Weimar Red 9s that I have met got matching stock. So no stock.

Fired exactly 100 rounds Winchester white box 9x19mm 115gr FMJ. It worked perfectly, except jammed once on the 67th round (see pix) -- the cartridge failed feeding. The cartridge's jamming position was high, it horizontally jammed between bolt and chamber. After pulling the bolt, the round dropped out freely. Planned to buy a few snap caps to find how this could happen. Probably due to weak recoil spring..... not sure.
