1921 Police Grips

[Pete Ebbink]

Hello Jon,

I think Dwight made a good point in one of his posting that the amount of wood removed on the gun you are considering for purchase appeared to be more in size than is normally seen...

The folks at FGS are very customer-oriented, so you might e-mail them and ask them to send you a close-up of the left grip panel and another photo of the magazine safety area of the frame with the grip panel removed. Then you would be able to see if the gun was fully modified for the magazine safety (i.e. hole drilled in frame and vertical slot cut in the left side panel of the frame) or whether this gun just got a set of grips added from another police pistol...

I have also posted a detailed drawing of this magazine safety device that I found in one of my older lguer books, so you might see this device in more detail :



A bit <img border="0" alt="[offtopic]" title="" src="graemlins/offtopic.gif" /> but I thought I would ask the Police experts on the Forum this question :

Is a police modified magazine safety always seen with the sear safety ? Or did some police agencies do the magazine safety and not the sear safety...?

Forgive my igonrance...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
