I agree with your comments entirely. These pistols are RARE!!!!
I have noticed of late that actual replies to threads are not as forthcoming in some cases as they used to be. Plenty of Forumites looking, but not the response I would have thought. I personally have posted a number of items asking for comment, and not received any, which is frustrating, as I believe that the knowledge is certainly out there.
It is a pity as KNOWLEDGE SHARED IS KNOWLEDGE GAINED.
