Very nice!

The guy that owns the gun shop that gets a lot of my money, has one of those on display. I always drool when I swing by his displays while there.

Rick-a-Roo · 09-10-2010, 08:29 PM

Excellent purchase. Well done.

Way cool! I wish they'd put the c96 back into production in .45 acp or at least 9mm parabellum.

TheMrMitch · 09-11-2010, 11:44 PM

I recently acquired two. One in 9mm. Putting it back together can be a bitch. Gotta make it "click".
I absolutely adore them and may get more.
