New C&R! Zee German

BlueHeeler · Jul 30, 2010

I had to take a break from the M57 hassle. The new girl came home today. She is all registered and legal without too much fuss. The pics do not do it justice. I cannot believe I own Megatron. :innocent0

I have not decided if I should be shooting it or mounting for display behind glass. It is in really good shape. The slide action and weight feels very German, in a good way. The sights are great for a military pistol. No complaints, I am pleased as punch. This is what C&R is all about!

It is an early 1943. Maybe it saw action, who knows?

I think it is from the Walther plant in Zella-Mehlis because it has an AC code and no suffix on the SN, but I am no expert.

Chaunsey · Jul 30, 2010

yep the AC code is walther.

very nice buy!

ive got a CYQ 44, its a great shooter i love it.

is yours import marked?

all matching numbers?

if it is non import marked and matching numbers, then it might make sense not to shoot it too much, though i firmly believe that regardless of value i would shoot anything i buy atleast a few times . you can always get a cheap post war P1 for like $300-$400 as a shooter and keep the WWII one as a safe queen.

if its not all matching then i wouldnt worry about it, shoot away, cause you can always find replacement parts if something breaks, and replacing parts on a non matching gun isnt gonna reduce the value any.

Hey BlueHeeler, VERY NICE! Me likes a lot.
You're right...that's what a C&R is all about. It's clear the C&R disease has taken a good hold on you lately. GFY!

I think the numbers are matching. The frame and slide match. I cannot find a number on the barrel. I will shoot it a bit. There is an VERY small mark of "R GUNS" on the frame, that must be the import mark. Either way I am pleased.

Stupid question: Is there a preferred ammo or is normal 9mm ok? I do not want to start breaking things.

Very nice.

You need one of these pistol racks now

j8064 · Jul 30, 2010

BTW, did you get that from SOG? They have them in stock and I'm sooooo tempted. I hate the C&R disease... :innocent0

I DO need a rack like that. I am not sure about the Eagle though, it might give people the wrong idea. Maybe an Obama sticker would be funnier.

Yep, it is a SOG. Do it!
