Yes got lucky with a local buy from a guy thinning the herd; it's a police arsenal rifle so it saw very little (ab)use. From the butt tag, it was at Lucerne PD, so for shits 'n giggles I wrote them via a general enquiries link on their web page, asking if they could provide any more info and surprisingly they replied! A nice little bit of provenance to now include with the rifle.
Dear Bill
For several decades, the Lucerne police had a reserve of 100 pieces of Swiss ordnance carabiners.
The police officer were then only equipped with a pistol, which is why these weapons were handed over to the members of the corps in case of possible large-scale deployments.
In a later phase, in the beginning of 1960, the carbiners were replaced by the Sturmgewehr SIG, Model 1957.
Since then, these carabiners were stored at the cantonal police of Lucerne.
Since these weapons were no longer usable for police use, they were used on behalf of the police commando.
On January 7, 2009, the weapons were sold and exported to Gunsmith at Calgary Shooting Center, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
There was also your carabiner with the number 711250.
We send you friendly greetings from Switzerland.

The guy I bought it off had purchased it directly from Calgary Shooting Supplies as mentioned above, and just kept in his safe (along with 5 others!) til selling this one to yours truly.
I like!! How many weapons in your arsenal now, Nick?Luth-AR stock and ergo grip.
14. I'm working on it. I wish I would have kept every gun I ever had.
I used to buy and sell a lot, but then I kinda got out of it for awhile. I've already said I won't sell any from here on out. Told my wife I would be needing a few more safes.
1)How does a full size Kimber differ from any other size Kimber, or any other 1911 in slide release placement?Beautiful guns.
I picked these grips up as a cheap novelty and I actually like them a lot.
The one thing I don't like about this full size Kimber is my thumb isn't long enough to hit the slide release.
2)Why does slide release size or location even matter?
If you are reloading from slidelock your support hand has just driven home the fresh mag. Once the fresh mag has been inserted the support hand goes back to its intended place where the thumb of the support hand can hit the slide release. An even better method is to slingshot the slide since it is a gross motor skill.
There are 2 slingshot methods
1)Thumb and forefinger pinching the back of the slide.
2)Close palm over the top of the slide with your thumb pointed towards you.
With a pistol such as the M9 Beretta the slingshot method is not as good since you will inadvertently decock the gun requiring an additional step to put it back on fire.
Let's not forget that reloading should be done at the same height as your shooting but closer to your face so that you can observe the magazine entering the pistol.

Have you considered situations where the support hand is unavailable. Those controls can be extended so the gun fits the owner.
If the support hand is unavailable to drop the slide release then it is not available to insert another mag.
At that point you are no longer holding a gun but a hammer.

I almost bought the VP9 instead of the PPQ. They look and feel very similar, but (dry fire in the store) I felt like the stock trigger was a bit smoother on the PPQ. I may buy a VP9 this summer anyway. I was wondering if you live-fired the PPQ and how you felt about the two compared to each other?
Never shot either. When I held the VP9 it filled my hand perfectly so I figured why the hell not.
Only H&K I've shot was the P30SK which I loved, minus my pinky floating on the base plate of the mag. If it wasn't for that I would have held onto it.
I own an HK P30-L and an HK45 both in DA/SA.
A friend of mine owns the SFP-9 (same gun as the US VP-9) and it has a sweet trigger. That will be my next polymer pistol.
I'm eying a few different 1911's and I'm building a stroker long block so guns are on the back burner right now.
The VP-9/SFP-9 use the same mags as the P30.

Actually it is still a gun if you know how to reload one handed. One handed reloading is not a hard skill to learn and might prove useful.
