Thanks, Greg. As a matter of fact, I have done these drills with other pistols, my Walther PPQ and others. Rack, smack and aim/fire. I don’t have any snap caps for the .22, since I’m not going to be using this pistol much. I just want to be sure it’s sorted 100% before I hand it off to the

Silver Arrow was a special edition they made with some of the last production R129s. Mostly paint and special wheels, there weren’t a whole lot of differences otherwise from the standard models.

The 600s has SLS. However, without looking at it I'm betting the top strut mount failed. If the rubber gets so bad on one of these that it fails, the top of the strut can literally punch through the hood. There are retainers that are supposed to prevent this, but if they're out of place or
