That is an interesting looking gun. I am not sure I could do that to an old gun but that grip does look functional. I have a C96 (M712) Gas Airsoft pistol that I use as a sidearm and find the original grip fairly comfortable. Perhaps this is because there is less recoil; the recoil on the Gas airsoft pistols is more comparable to a .22 LR.

The major problem that I met in the past was that they jammed like crazy on Winchester white box .45ACP ammo. In C96 domain, shooting a gun is an important way to reveal some facts.

I have heard that the Shansei pistols tend to be made with softer steel. I vaguely remember someone telling me to get the one with the "Yin Yang" looking symbol on the receiver as they are "proofed" and better quality. That marking is not a proof mark, but those ones were put through a proofing process before being released.

I have heard the "soft metal" has more to to with the fact that modern .45 ACP tends to have higher pressure than what the older shansei's were designed for.

Maybe I will just get used to the smaller grips. I learned how to deal with it on my Bear-Cat so I welcome the challenge.
