New gun out of pawn

Happy happy joy joy.... Got a new gun out of pawn I'd never really played with before. Seecamp LWS-32. First step, clear it. Second step, field strip for cleaning.
Okay ya little sumnagumna, how do you come apart. Admit defeat. Go ask Google. Get link to owner's manual. Read section on field stripping. Scratch head. Reread manual. Nope, they're serious. Need either a gun vise to hold down the frame, someone to assist and hold down the frame or a very high dexterity die roll.
Always fun playing with new things.



That's right from the manual. Prop slide back with a bullet. poke hole b with a probe of some sort while lifting the slide and holding down the frame. whee!

So don't strip it down..............

Must have had good character stats, got it off without nailing it to the bench or getting help. Most guns strip down easy, might be a trick or two to get the process started but once you know where the release mechanism is it's usually a pretty straightforward process. Some, however, rival Chinese puzzle boxes. Real head scratchers.

Congrats. Lovely little jewels. The .380 version is a knuckle-buster. One mag was more than enough for me.

The gun isn't mine, it came out for sale from pawn and I get to clean it, which necessitates taking it apart. Just giving some folks on here a glimpse on some of the joys of used firearms from the perspective of a long time dumb pawnbroker.
As for busted knuckles, etc. from small light guns, the .357 mag Ruger LCR we have in the case that weighs in at 15 oz gives me pause.

It and the Beretta 950 remind me of those old table cigarette lighters people had back in the 60's and 70's.

If you happen to come across any of these and feel the curious urge to strip it down- no, just no.

So what you're really saying here is not to take them in pawn unless they're already clean. Got it.

I'd rather shoot that one than a .380 Seecamp. And that's saying something.

1K, not sure I'd want to shoot something this tiny in .380. Not a fan of magnum derringers, either.


Yeah, that's my hand.
