From what I've read the Model 20 was made from 83' to 85' here in the US and is a mix of the 950 and 21a.

I recently got this little beauty box and all. (even 59 rounds of .25.)

It is very well made little pistol and from the short range session quite accurate even with the tiny sights, the trigger is also very nice compared to other micro pistols like the PPK/s and NAA's version of the Seecamp. I haven't measured the pull weight yet, but the DA is about the same a J-frame maybe even a little lighter and the SA is very sweet and crisp. Out of the 59rds I shot there was two failures to fire in DA but the ammo was as old as the pistol.

I plan on getting a real range report soon as the ammo I ordered gets here.

So without further ado here are some photos.








And with the 642.

Not a bad lookin' pistol Shorty. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it?

rjm6120. Actually all I paid for it was gas to go get it as it was given to me by my Grandma since do to health reasons she can't use it anymore. I didn't even know what kind of pistol it was when she said I could have her. "Old gun."
 
Do not take the right grip panel! It holds trigger components in place. Springs will go a poppin and you will have to figure out the puzzle to get it back in proper working order.
 
Can never have too many small, pocketable, handguns.

You make a good point. while .25 acp is not really my preferred SD round it is better than nothing and if the need arises I'd carry it. Granted the only time this will probably get carried is to and from the range.

Thanks for the warning! :)

I looked at an exploded drawing the pistol and there is a whole lot of little springs and such in there.

I have a 21A in 22 and really like it. I've fired about 100 rounds out of it without a hiccup. Many people complain about jams. But using CCI Mini Mags and Stingers mine has worked just fine. I don't carry it other then when I walk my dog in my neighborhood. But is just drops right into my pocket with a Remora holster with Stingers. If I found a nice one in 25 I would also buy it
