Thank you Pete. Yes it does.

Anyone care to advise me on whether I should use this pistol or encase it in a display cabinet. Would seem such a pity not to use it as it's still in beautiful condition and sure to turn heads at the shooting range.

I believe this could be a touchy subject as I have come across posts where references have been made about heated discussions regarding this. Anyone care to inform me what the verdict is ? :-)

If it can still be used as a shooter what should I do regarding the jamming problem ? As I mentioned before the spent cartridge doesn't clear quickly enough and when it jams it has the live round half way up into the chamber and the spent round jammed between the breech block and the chamber.
