Model HSC Pistol / Re: 1970s vintage Interarms Mauser HSc jam-omatic?

My Interarms HSc has similar problems, plus a very uncomfortable recoil.
My wartime 7.65 version is much better, though it's a struggle to remove the original mag and the slide won't stay open during mag removal.
A spare 7.65 mag I found online removes properly and allows the slide to stay locked back, but I haven't tested this mag with live ammo yet.


I read the .380 HSc are tempermental. But I'm not terribly disappointed, as I had no plans for either HSc to be my 'carry-gun'.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: Some range time with your Hsc

Two years ago, I acquired a '70s Interarms .380 HSc. Then last Fall, an early wartime 7.65 model.
The .380 turned out to be a 'jam-o-matic', along with a very uncomfortable recoil.
The 7.65 was much better on both counts using it's one original mag, though when the slide locks back on this empty mag, it's a struggle to withdraw and while doing so, the slide slams forward.
I'm not really all that disappointed as I never planned either HSc to be my 'carry-gun'.


I did recently buy a spare 7.65 HSc mag online and this one locks the slide back properly, allows easy mag removal, and the slide stays locked back until the mag is reinstalled.
Unfortunately, I haven't yet made it back to a range to test with live ammo.
