A friend has this gun and I have found a little info on it through Google. Anybody have any good info on this gun other than Wikipedia?

What else would you like to know besides what's on the Wiki page? It seems fairly thorough.

Just recently a friend mentioned that he had acquired a pistol that has been passed down through the family and it is this same model.   He asked me if I knew whether ammo was still available and I really had no knowledge of these  until I did a google search.  His looks almost mint condition compared to the one pictured.

Here is another link on the pistol but Wiki pretty much hits all the high points.

Just skeptical of wiki. Wondering if anyone had anything backing it up or other info.

Don't know anything about their pistols but I do have one of their rifles.  It looks like this one.

Have a friend that has one. Good shooter. There are some You Tube videos on stripping them. Be careful with the grips! They will break easily on removal and are expensive if you can find replacements.

I have to admit I had to do a double take when I saw the thread title...

Me too. With this being a gun forum I was expecting to see a bunch of pistols with their mags out stacked on top of each other.

I actually have one of these guns... seems pretty well made, the grip safety design is interesting.  I've never even shot it... I need to dig up some .32ACP ammo and take it to the range.

Ian at Forgotten Weapons gives a very good history of the pistol:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf410MfFqTw

 

Sootch has a fantastic shooting review of one, and he has another review of a differnt model on his channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7AFWYX0Co

Very nice pistols with a good trigger.  Do not dry fire it.  They break firing pins when you do.  New-made firing pins are available, though.

Oh. I read the title wrong.
