Hello All,

I really think one has to be careful when you say "import stamped or marked". There are a bunch of "Russian", with or without the dreaded "X" and there are "German", most likely East German. These pistols have been refinished and some have been otherwise "buggered" up.

Then there are genuine "other" imports, that are import marked, but are unaltered pistols, mostly from Canada. Since their new laws on pistols having barrel lengths less than 105mm, there has been a few really nice pistols sent across the border and import marked. I, for one, place these imports in a totally different light than the recent European imports. Anyway my 2Ã?Â¢ worth.
