I am fairly certain that C.O.M. stands for Contrini Officina Mechanica which roughly translates to Contrini (The name of a person) Workshops.

I have a pistol like yours but in .36 and in the Sheriff's Model. I had an opportunity to handle a second one just like mine and the arbor was loose.

I had a chain fire on my .36 which loosened the arbor.

It was a sweet shooter until that happened.

I bought some parts from the Deer Creek folks which were supposed to fit ASMs but they required a good bit of filing. I think this is not uncommon and what it means is that you could possibly just get the parts from DGW or VTI.

It is worth giving the Deer Creek folks a call, not necessarily to but anything. They are just nice folks to talk to.

Tnx,
