Default Orphan 952-1 Adopted

This gun came to live at my place yesterday - my first 9mm. This is absolutely the prettiest semi-auto in my collection (which may not be difficult because I have so few, and the ones I have mostly emphasize basic functionality over looks and precision). It looks so nice I am almost hesitant to shoot it. Almost.






I just love the precision of the markings on this gun.




I'm hoping for a range day some time next week. I can't wait to see if this one lives up to its advance billing. If it doesn't, we will all know where the problem lies -- and it won't be in the steel.

Oh yes, you want to shoot it. I've had a 952 in SS for a while and love it so I picked up a blued one just like yours last week. I was afraid it wouldn't shoot as good as the SS but not to worry. It was every bit as good so now I can alternate and not wear them out so fast. Need to hit the reloading bench and try to get ahead. When they are that much fun to shoot the ammo really goes fast.

I'm not much of a 9mm fan but I don't think I could have walked past that one. Nice aquisition Dave!
