...was JMB's and Dieudonne Saive's one big mistake. Because they designed it around the 9MMP it cannot be chambered in larger calibers such as 9MM Largo, 38 Super and 45 ACP without major redesign and retooling.
That said, I have had mine since 1967, paid $110 for it, a princely sum for a PFC E-3 back then. Bought it after reading-repeatedly-my 1966 edition of W.H.B Smith's Small Arms of the World, yes that 13 round magazine was a big selling point. Currently thanks to the magazine restriction laws here in the People's Republic of New Jersey it goes to the range with my Ciener conversion unit-which I also recommend. Still looking for an adjustable sight slide, have an old tangent sight slide, need the parts for the rear sight. On another board someone mentioned barrels in 7.65MMP, never saw one of those.
At present I do not recommend it as a first handgun, I would part with mine for say $25,000....
