Another weird PreB issue...
« on: December 22, 2020, 03:02:35 PM »
But good. 

Back in the 80s I picked up a PreB with only ONE mag.  No box, but all paper work. Bought from a colleague, so I assume he threw out the box and kept or sold the other mag.  Always regretted NOT having the second numbered mag. Again - never had it. Today I rummaged through an odd assortment of old mags to check fit - some I bought on line here.  One had a VERY faint etched number and the one and the seven were distinctly European - not some American bubba with an engraving tool.  While the zero is a tad small, the number matched.  COULD it have been matched from another gun in the series?  Its of course only the last three, but there it is.  Now I have my 'matching' second mag.  Nice...

Well, you must be doing something right.

You probably won't be that lucky again.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Cool story, I assume it fit your pre B? If so, great find.
