I had a 35s once, my little brother pretty much cabbaged on to it while I was the Army and away at folt polk. I had left it at mom's home, he decided it was the perfect anti robbery device for his wife's nail salon. It may have been but that did not keep someone from breaking into the salon in the dead of night and stealing the pistol. Pissed me off be cause it was right about the time I read that one could make brass from M1 carbine cases and reload for it. Before I ever got a chance to try it the pistol had vanished.
