WR Moore - your assumption is correct, this will never be a carry gun, just a paper hole puncher. It's something I found at a LGS and have been playing with for fun. Since it looks like I'll never be able to find the parts to convert my 52 to 9mm, nor be able to afford the prices 952's are bringing, I just wanted to play around with this 639 to see what could be done. Thanks for the suggestions.
