Thanks, yes the pistol is in great condition, but I have had to replace a firing pin (unobtainable).

Mine needs a new recoil spring as this one has a kink in it and causes too much friction during cycling, which sometimes leads to the slide not going fully forward, and it will only function with HV ammo. Does yours cycle with SV ammo?

It cycles, but I do get many stoppages and, therefore, will also be using HV ammo. Bought some Stingers to try.

TBH, I have not shot it much. My Dad bought it about 25 years ago from our neighbors, who most probably got it new years before that, and now it is mine.
Still have the box it came in :)
