Ex Cleveland Ohio PD 5943
Picked up an ex, Cleveland 5943 at a gun show. ($400 bucks) Not a great deal but Ok I think. Anyway talked with the guy a bit and He told me I was the first owner after he got it at auction from the PD. Only a little holster wear on the right side and in general in excellent shape. Until I field stripped it. ( OMG there Must be some trick to holding the slide back and trying to push out the pin from the opposite side! note: do NOT try putting your finger in the ejection slot!). To continue I don;t believe I have ever seen such a filthy firearm I found bits of blue cloth from the uniform in the action and the red stuff from the inside of the holster through the action (Tends to make me believe the guy was telling the truth). the feed ramp was totally encrusted took a brass brush to get it off let alone powder residue on all the inside surfaces. I am honestly not sure this would have fired when needed.
