Hello to all, new to this forum. By way of introduction my name is Todd, soon to be 45 yrs. of age. Married with 2 great kids for 10 years and finacially secure (poor but happy). I have been a gun enthusiast for as long as I can recall, my father was as well and taught me a lot, sadly he passed away earlier this year.
I've never been a fan of the para-military type weapons, focusing more on the 'classic' type of hunting rifle or handgun, and I prefer shooters over gloss any day. I currently have a very small collection, having sold off most of what I owned for various reasons, mostly financial, my oldest son was ill as a baby and medical expenses mount rather quickly.
I haven't yet introduced my sons to shooting sports, it's on my to do list and I will need a youth rifle very soon.
The real reason I'm posting is: I have an old J.P. Sauer and Sohn 25 cal. pistol (I hear the laughter already), semi-auto and in good shape. Not a lot of markings on it, manufacture name with 'Suhl' on the left side of the slide, cal 6.35 patent on the right. Serial no.2877 on the frame, as well as a star and what looks like an 11 below it on both frame and slide. Plastic grips. The gun will fire, but does not feed, I suspect the mag is incorrect and would like to find a replacement.
Does anyone know of or have a replacement mag for this gun? I realize it's not worth much, I think I gave 20 bucks for it many years ago, one of those odd flea market finds that, well, 20 bucks? Sold. Anyway, it's not much, not even a good shooter, but I'd like to have it functional again just the same. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Todd.
p.s. There are no markings of any kind on the mag, which I've been told is an indication it is incorrect for a Sauer.
