Pre-war versions were good, during the 40's quality started to slip. The Radom was considered a good weapon but not the best thing ever , and it has no manual safety for cocked and locked carry. The two doohickeys that look like safeties are a decocker and a take down catch, so if you want to use it you have to chamber a round or cock it with your thumb. Not really a great design, and big giant single stack 9mm's are not something to be desired.

It is said to be the one of the finest pistols ever made.

i would like to learn more about this pistol as my grandfather just gave me his that he shiped back from germany in ww2 sadly it has a broken fireing pin

Very well said!

Dude......... seriously.... When you come from a country which suffered tremendously during WW2, certain things mean more than others. In this case, the weapon was so good, the Germans issued it to the SS. That says something. Clearly time you inform yourself assuming. Yes, items have a country of origin (design) = natonality.

This gun was not made for germans and/or their allies. This was a Polish design and Polish production weapon, and production was seized during WW2 by the Nazis. The weapon was originally produced prior to WW2 by the Arms Factory at Radom (in Poland). Pre-Occupation weapons exist with clear Polish proofs. After the occupation began, the Nazi's added their own proofs and removed most Polish ones.

Correct. There was a war going on at the time, and naturally, resources were limited. The decocker was removed as well as the take-down catch, and the stock recess (yes, they planned for a shoulder stock attachment - stocks were never distributed / available). Different pins (roll pins) were used in types without those features.

Please change the title of your video as it is insulting. This is a Polish weapon. Period.

As I understand it the original Polish model had a decocker mechanism on it that the Germans did not put in.
