See my photos attached.











T-Star, I like the Afrikaans! It is Mooi Meise and I think you were looking for the word Likkewaan (monitor lizard). We can shoot game here on game farms, but for now I will stick to some target practicing.

Thanks,

Frikkie-

You can easily tell if the gun has selective DA just by pulling the trigger and seeing if that works and if you can also cock the hammer for a shorter SA pull. Probably so, and the Cadix is a more practical gun for general carry than Swissman's larger target model.

Do you know if the Likkewaan/Nile monitor ever attacks people there? There is a breeding population of them in Florida, from released pets, and they have been eating pets and scaring people. I read that they can grow to eight feet.

Thanks for the mooi meise spelling. BTW, Candice Swanepoel comes from a town called Mooi River, I think in Natal. Saw it on some entertainment show.

Your photos are just red X's, but I know what the Cadix looks like. I think I may have read that the grips can be adjusted to suit your hand and the grip angle better. Maybe just on some versions?
