It is certainly the weirdest .32 pistol I own, or that was ever put into mass production. It uses a rotating bolt locked breech long-recoil action, similar to the Auto 5 shotgun and the Remington Model 8/81 rifle. There were a few earlier pistols that used long recoil but it is generally felt the design is way too complex for a pistol and certainly for one chambered in .32 or .380. I like weird.

    Who gets to test fire it?

    I test fire every gun I buy after disassembling and inspecting it. I may not shoot all of them all the time but everything I own does shoot safely. The original ammo for this gun was a hotter load than standard .32 Auto so the first rounds through it will be some of my weaker ammo like PPU just to be cautious.

    I hear a classic Chevy crying in the background though. Guess another delay is in order?

    Yes, indefinite delay. The next step is body shop, in which i need several thousand dollars cash saved up and ready to go for the body man. I expect another year until i have that cash set aside.
    But i have a plan. I currently have a good amount of stock of an Argentinian Bank, which I expect the stock price to double within a year, as the country starts to come out of recession. So Impala body money is currently parked there, with hopes of compounding.

    I thought you were going to say that you sent money to a Nigerian prince whom in turn will kindly return your investment ten fold.

    It's a close comparison. Very close sometimes

    Picked up rifle number 5 of 5 today. Hand guard is wood, so I'll just need to remove the black paint. Not sure if I should buy a new lower, or replace the wood and other stuff. I guess Century altered some stuff when they added the thumbhole stock. Imbel receiver.
