And I couldn't be happier. I traded a Kel Tec PF9 for it. It does have a pinned barrel, but I don't know what you mean by a flat latch. And is there any way to tell the year? Here is a few pics, please excuse the finger prints, I've been holding it quite a bit today
. It sure is pretty to be so old. And the action is slick as glass. I'm just a revolver guy, so this trade was a no brainer for me.
