1937 Brazilian, spring loaded pin in crane (lots of photos)

Here's mine...

Interesting! One of the shortest barrels I have seen on a Model 1917. And, whoever did it, had the ejector rod shortened also. Will that short rod clear the empties if held with the barrel other the plumb? It looks just long enough.

It does!...the barrel is about 2 1/16"my only complaint is accuracy...but you get what you pay for! I can't remember but I think it's low and right from 7 yards. It looks like an M&P Snubby...until you hold it in your hand!

Well if it always shoots low and right, it is accurate. It just needs a little sight tweaking to move its accuracy up into the center of the target,
