Dave, I sold one of those recently, bought it at a gun show new in the plastic box, $170, two clips. It's a nice solid pistol. One issue is the cycling, common and although I didn't do it, spring kits to lighten up that damn heavy pull. Back in the 70's you could buy Super Vel ammo that was rather hot and cycled the action perfectly. Hand loads have to be loaded on the hot side to get reliable cycling....and then it's a pretty sharp kick. You have to keep the web of your hand below the slide or you'll need bandages! I never found any factory ammo that would cycle other than the Super Vel and they haven't made it in years. You can still find it in back hole gun shops occasionally and maybe on the internet. Nice guns other than that!

Corrected the ammo make, it was Super Vel not Viper...duh.

As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."
