Cool, I had one of those while a student in the US. Lots of fun, but the very worst trigger I think I have ever encountered. Blasting coke cans in the back 40 was nice, too. Really too bad we can't have them here (or use them like that!). It is amazing you've got both matching mags, it's rare to see them with one! Nice piece, I am jealous.

That, sir, is a lovely set. When I bought mine I didn't get all the goodies. They don't turn up often and are a very solid pistol. Mine shoots well if you are able to handle the approximately 50 lb trigger pull.
