My match pistol is serial numbered C 33. I bought it in the 1960s from a police lieutenant who had accurized it, installed Micro sights and fired it in competition for almost 20 years. He had shortened the recoil spring for wadcutter loads; I never heard about the slides cracking so I put in a GI 45 recoil spring and in the two years I was on an Army pistol tem, I must have put 10,000 rounds of hardball down it. I still shoot it occasionally, with wadcutter loads.
