Are any of you in possession of either of these pistols and if so can you give feedback on their quality and how they are constructed? I would certainly appreciate any photos that could be provided, showing how they are broken down for cleaning. It is my understanding that they came with a .22 LR/.25 ACP interchangability kit. Thanks.

yes i own a pistol exactly like that in a 22.cal the iam srry i dont have any pics of the wepon but the break down is fairly simpl of coure i suggest removeing the clip and checking the chamber befor fooling around with any firearm the next step would be to look at the rear site it should have a hinge looking piece on it and under the rear site is a trapazoid shaped piece of metal ater lifting the rear sight slightly the piece of meatal falls out i forgot to mention this is easiest to do with the hammer back and the hammer will need be back to reasemble after removeing said piece of metal pull the slide foward and the fireing mechanisim comes off in one solid pice the with the slide completly removerd a rob holding a sping under the barrel is exposed imply pull that out then lift the barrel off of the fram oof the wepon and you have diasembled the wepon i hope i was of some help i was actually searching this site on information about it my self there seems to be some roumor that the wepon was commisioned by the cia and used in the field any way there is alot of contervesie of the wepon and it is vary rare also ive found that the 22 cal is picky on what rounds you feed it seems to like hi powered copper tips to keep it from jaming as for the quality once i started useing the correct ammunition (hi power winchester copper head 22 lr) ive never had a problem with it cycels smoth clean and mean i love the gun again hope this wa helpful
