Smashing :D . Congrats !!
Does it have an ambidextrous safety ?
From the looks of the first picture, it seems as though you've tried field stripping it ?

thanks everyone for your compliments and suggestions :D i paid $500 for it.i will surely get 2 more mags abhijeet :) .............and OUP,i didnt try to field strip the gun.it has a unique tip up barrel for cleaning and loading single round.the dealer was saying that the gun might have been very merely used :)

Congratulations Indian, that is a nice looking pistol. I get the impression that you plan on moving to India in the near (or distant?) future. I didn't know you could take firearms to India when you transfer residence. Do you have to pay any duty/taxes on them? Do all the Prohibited Bore limitations still apply (caliber, number of firearms being brought into the country, etc.)?

You must have some strong reasons to move back, I'm sure you're aware that life as a firearms owner will be a lot different there.

Oh, and I like the hunting pictures (another thread), looks like a guided hunt, I'd love to go on one, when I have the money :)
