Didn't even remember dad having this one. Does this thing just shoot regular 9MM? Should I buy some of the strip clips and shoot it? Or never shoot it? It's like new, numbers match & it's chrome.

I had one of those years ago. It is chambered in 9mm Steyr, which is longer than regular 9mm (9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger). Don't shoot regular 9mm in it, very dangerous as it will have excessive headspace. If it is chrome it's been refinished. I never found ammo for mine, so I sold it.

Thanks, yes I just figured out the ammo thing. I found some for sale for $40/50rnds. Found some of the stripper clips on Ebay but I think I will wait till I have gone through all of Dads stuff and see if he already has some in there somewhere. I would never sell it, I just don't like stuff to not get used at least every once in a while.
