Guys,

I have a "shooter" Red 9 (gripped) pistol serial number 888195 with c/u proofs all matching, refinished (pitting under some of the blue) , with a mismatched bolt. Is this a real "red 9" or has it been rebored?

It shoots great and I paid $350.00 for it several years ago.... as a "shooter". I don't have any books on these guns, so can one of you guys help me out?

No import marks on this gun and shot 150 rounds through her today ... what a "piss-ah" as we say in the Republic of Massachusetts .... I really need a stock for this gun for shooting it at 100 yards !!! ....

I had to replace the firing pin when I bought it but FUN to shoot! My collection includes the mismatched, refinished, cheap, "fun" stuff for the range.

The safety lever broke during the firing of the gun, another reason not to shoot the guns in your collections! .... How the "f***" does a safety lever break in one of these pistols?
