I still have the P35 that I smuggled into RVN then declared it a war trophy and brought it home.

I own 4 of them.

Other than keeping it clean, lube the normal areas paying attention to the rails, sear/trigger/hammer engagement areas. I use a good high pressure grease like Rig or Militec (Free sample found here: http://www.gungrease.com/pages/1/index.htm) or Brownell's (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/sto...p=19643&s=)for these areas and a good corrosion preventative/lube like LPS#2 on the remainder of the weapon. I'm seriously looking at having my main carry gun Hard Chromed in a dark shade. I do have night sights on it.

Magazines can become an issue, Mec-Gar makes about the most dependable mags for them.

A friend of mine gave me a set of Spegel Grips (http://www.lightningarms.com/spegel.htm) they're expensive but really thin and good. And more, you may want to look at Brownell's, these are much cheaper and pretty good Micarta Grips(http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Sto...l.aspx?p=9563).

Also, you may want to look into getting a set of "Calibration" springs from Wolff (http://www.gunsprings.com/1ndex.html), or through Brownells, I understand that they have a rather good export department.

I have done other work on my main carry piece, I installed a Cylinder and Slide Hammer, Trigger, and ambi-safety. I do not recommend you attempt this unless you are a competent gunsmith (remember I built an M60 receiver from scratch!!).

That's about it for now. BTW, I did shoot quite a few people with mine in RVN and they all stayed down!!

Later
Martin
