I know Lloyd has seen this 1908 before, but I wanted to illustrate the fuctional superiority of the /34 reconfiguration.

As originally designed, a failure-to-fire (dud,light hit) necessitates the operator to break open the pistol, dig out the unfired round, close the action, and chamber a new round. There is no extractor on the bolt. The very small serrated area on the slide (and minuteness of the slide itself) make it difficult for a large handed person to operate the slide.

As I understand, the /34 adds an extractor and beefs up the slide. These are "common sense" features on a military/police sidearm.



Nice pick-up Lloyd,
Jack
