Reminds me of my Zanco "prison" phone (World smallest phone allegedly)...

Well that penny certainly gives me a good idea of scale, I've finally realised how small the P365 is !

When I got the 1911 out for comparison, I was quite surprised how big it is; my memory of it is that it was fairly small compared to my other pistols, but against the P365 it looks forking HUGE! I am still drawn to a P226-X5 at some point, it looks like it is slightly bigger than a 1911 and that would give me the two extremes of Sig Sauer pistols.

I almost wavered on the silver one going for £90 on Gunstar, but watched a video review that happened to be silver, and the guy criticised the paint finish.
If I do ever get one, it will be black!

Last shot jamming cured! Turned out the slide catch was stopping the bb follower from going all the way up, so I rounded off the corner of a small feature on the inside of the slide, and now it works every time, even with those pesky Blasters! Half way up on the right side. The shiny corner...

Half way up on the right side. The shiny corner... Nice one Mark. Like I said .... it never bothered me that the last bb didn`t fire. I had a similar problem on a Baikal Makarov too. I take it you like your pocket rocket bargain then.?? Pete.

I most certainly do Pete! This one is a keeper; I will be ordering another magazine for it soon to go with the other toys I have organised.

OUCH!
I was just about to order a spare magazine from DAI Leisure, who have them in stock at £30, but they charge £10 for shipping! Feck that for a game of soldiers...
As usual, these things are cheaper elsewhere, in the USA $20 or less, and in Europe €27, but unfortunately another €20 for shipping/customs for the place I looked at.
Are there any EU suppliers who will still ship airgun stuff to the UK? It's not something I have tried before, so would appreciate any advice.
