If your gun is patterned after mine, clean it well after each time you shoot it, stay away from corrosive ammo from China and do not over lubricate it. They like to run "dry"

It's designed to shoot the 9X19 round, which is a 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO round. No worries about corrosive rounds...just finding rounds. LOL
I finally got it to push the hammer back when racking the slide...something that was nearly impossible earlier today. I couldn't hold the slide and push the frame, I had to bring it up to my chest and push them both with a bit of a snap to make it happen...now it's finally doing it as it should.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...I may keep it as a curio, I don't know yet.
It's an interesting enough firearm...very attractive with all the bluing present. Most of my handguns are two toned stainless and black or straight stainless and one is nickel plated, so this one is different than the rest.
