So what did I do the first night I owned it? I took it apart.

I did not know jack about P.08s, but UTube videos were marvelously helpful. No, I did not take the s-link pin out or the sear plunger, but I had that puppy in pieces for a complete field strip.

Why? Well, to paraphrase Ollie, what fun would that be not to take it all apart. No reason needed, just ignorant bliss and a burning curiosity.

Now having said that, I do respect Don V's sage advice in general. But, sometimes you just want to jump in with both feet for the fun of it.
