Next was a 900,000 SN, assembled from parts during the French occupation of Oberndorf following WW II. It had a lanyard ring attached to the butt and was used by the French police. Had period magazines for both. Amazing how much the internal machining had been modified and simplified in the later pistol. I was shooting some light cast bullet handloads, and both pistols performed flawlessly. Shot several magazines full out of the three magazines I had with me. At 25 yards, both pistols had all their shots in the chest area. My groups wee actually smaller than those of two other gusy out there, both with 'tactical' 45s, shooting two handed. I'm happy.
