I could not pass up this as new in Box with an extra magazine Mauser HSC Super (Model 80) , just got it and on the way back to my home I stopped at a lonely turnout off closed Hiway 199 and shot it a couple mags with the 100 round pack of .Winchester .380 ball the small Local gunstore that sold it for $375 had 
It ran flawlessly and was surprisingly stayed on a 1 gallon paint can at 15 yards. With the big beefy handle it hardly had that nasty .380 recoil I am used to in smaller pistols. The 15 round magazines are made by Mecgar so seem pretty good ! I like this gun and believe it will be a bedside gun , the one within hands reach, not the light equipped .45 High cap in the vest in the closet for outside problems, of course.
I read Float Pilot's love for his, extremely nicely built by Gamba in Italy in 1981 for Mauser. . Not really a pocket gun with the beefy grip and 3.5" barrel , and if I am CCW ing in a belt holster I'll take a bigger caliber thank you. But I really like this gun,it will find a niche, cheap enough to shoot, but .380 factory ammo is very hard to find right now !!!
