Followed an auction and saw a Mauser M2 with a number that looked familiar.
I already have .45 ACP version 2243 and today they were auctioning off 2242.
So now the guns will continue their lives as a matched pair.

Another "Congratulations", Gerben! I am intrigued by the visible Barrel lockup at the Ejection Port. Does the Barrel rotate on a cam action to unlock during recoil?

Thanks :)
Yes, it does. It was an interesting return to an old idea, executed by a Swiss gun designer. A bit overcomplicated in several areas and 3 safeties is a bit much. But a nice attempt at a compact self defense gun in potent calibers nonetheless.
I remember that I saw 2242 earlier somewhere, most probably in a European gun review magazine. Should have a copy somewhere, but seem to have misplaced it.

It finally arrived and the pair is reunited after 19 years apart.
