ERMA EP 22

I have owned the 4" barrel Erma in .22, the Baby Erma in .380, and the Carbine Erma in .22.

I sent them all out to a gunsmith for new springs, and a complete shakedown, as none of them worked right when I got them.

They came back, with many replacement parts, and still wouldn't shoot right.

I am still depressed that I actually wasted money on these POS guns, because I figured that they *must* be good, somehow, they were German, made in the Erfurt factory, heck I had *great* guns from there.

These POS pistols neither cycle, extract, nor fire right, I sold one, traded the other for a really *nice* P38, and still have the dammed carbine.

My advice: Stay clear of post war Ermas.
