Thanks for the compliments on my new old toy gentlemen ! The dealer had a few to choose from and I really liked the been there - done that look of this one . Most collectors would pass on a Russian capture pistol but to me that is just part of the history that gives it character ! He was asking $625 to start with - I tried to get it for $500 but he wouldn't go that low . Took her out back and shot 3 rounds into a milk jug at close range and she functioned flawless - very pleased !! Looking forward to learning more about theses interesting pistols . Already looking forward to my next one !
