Why yes, yes I do. Goes bang when you pull the trigger. Worth a couple hundred maybe.

Re: Vintage Pistol?
CZ52s may be interesting, but have a number of problems; firing pin breaks, chamber splits, trigger slap, and they are heavy. That is why they were the cheapest gun in SHOTGUNNEWS for a long time. A Tokarev, OTOH, is the AK47 of pistols, they keep on working, and they make a great hammer.
Beretta 92S
I have milled out the more common 92FS magazines to fit.

Vintage as it is, I don't believe there is a modern gun out there that will beat it as a pure combat pistol. If for some weird reason I was to go back to the jungle, it would be my first choice for a pistol. I've crawled on my hands and knees in muck, with one in my hand, shook the big chunks off and fired, it worked, never failed me. The only thing have that is close to it as far as reliable, is my Series 70 Gold Cup. Neither seem to care what junk ammo I shoot. And I've shot some crap cast bullets.
What's better yet, yours is your grandfathers.
