These have been sparse hereabouts for some time. Saw that a batch came in, so I picked one up. Bolt face was pretty dirty, but otherwise looks fine. Came with a green canvas holster, and two mags. Feels good in the hand, and the trigger is not bad at all. We'll see how it shoots when I get a chance.
Looks interesting, wouldn't mind a try with one. Keep us infoed...
Date code under the grips? Is the lockwork the same maker as the frame?
Grips are on pretty well. Will have to Kroil the retaining screws for a bit. Slide and fire control pack are both Chatellerault. S series frame serial seems to indicate the same, with production between 1960 and 1963. Will advise if more info revealed when the grips come off.
Just the MAC logo under the grip panel.
French pistols are hard to come by in my area. You get this from Classic? Only place I could find with them in.
So it's all MAC?
Yes, all MAC, Fushigi.
I believe AIM still has them, Aragorn. A bit steep, but gun shows and such are done here. I would have thought you'd already found one for $350.00 at a garage sale!
Mine came from OWS, MAS frame but MAC slide and lockwork.
CamoLots has leather MAC 1950 holsters
That looks good in black, police use I'd imagine, and the price is right, as well. Thanks! I do have one of the single loop leather ones in tan, and of course the OD canvas one this pistol came with.Quote:

I was expecting $350 and was shocked when I saw how much they are. A lot more than I want to spend. My 1935 was $450.00. I'm usually not into post WWII stuff in any case unless it's something I really like or they are dirt cheap.
My accumulation has experienced creep into some early Cold War items. As you say, it was primarily due to running across targets of opportunity rather than by intention. As the regulatory noose closes here, I figured I'd bite the bullet on this one while I still could, despite the hefty bottom line.Quote:
