Outstanding. A nice piece of history. A keeper indeed. (Both)

The U.S. Property mark will appear on guns made for the Allies under Lend-Lease, since the fiction was that the U.S. was "lending" its property to other countries. In point of fact, few guns were made between passage of the Lend-Lease Act in March 1941 and U.S. entry into the war in December of the same year, after which the "lend/lease" fiction became moot, even though the guns still had the USP marking.

Finally got a chance to take the revolver out for a spin at the range. Both the Mrs. and I were VERY happy with it's performance.

Out to about 15ft or so, it was literally one ragged hole if we did our part. Groups opened up to about 2-3" double-action, but single action was almost spooky accurate.

My wifes first shot, and honestly her first time shooting in about 3-4 months was literally a bullseye at 15ft. (She turned around and grinned back at me) I could already tell this was going to be a good range session.

We went through 50 rounds in about 30mins. SO much fun. soft recoil, great sights, very, very intuitive, pointable gun.

I can see why a cop or a soldier who relies on his siderarm to protect himself would be smitten with this particular piece.

That groundhog didn't have a chance. Double-action 6-shot group above, single action 6-shot group below. (Wife's)
