A nice occupation example and made before they had to cut corners later in the war.
My favourite handgun from WWII and a good quality gun too.
Combining the best of the ideas from the mind of the firearms wizard John Moses and none of the drawbacks.
Let me guess; good exterior but (slightly) rough insides of the barrel from having been shot with corrosive ammo but not cleaned?
(not that this matters. They shoot fine anyhow. Very nice handling shooters BTW).

Agreed, a very fine looking example.

Here's something I found some time ago that comments in the Vis pistol. Some of the links may no longer work.

In my opinion the Radom would have to be one of the better 9mm Parabellum
pistols of the second world war. It was well made comfortable to handle
and incorporated some of the best features of both the Browning Hi Power and the Colt 1911A1.

According to some sources (incl. Guns & Ammo magazine), WiS vz35 is one of the best handguns ever built.

Germans issued their pistols to Waffen SS and SS Police. Some were used by Kriegsmarine.

Vis pistol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Considered by many to be one of the finest handguns ever produced, it is highly prized among collectors of firearms.

The tests proved that the handgun was very accurate and stable (due to its size and mass, most stresses are absorbed and not passed on the shooter), while at the same time remaining reliable after firing more than 6000 rounds. The Vis was generally regarded as one of the best military pistols of that period.

With the defeat of Poland in 1939 Nazi Germany immediately pressed into service and continued production of the POLISH RADOM 9mm pistol. Considered one of the finest handguns of the WWII period.

Wz/35 Radom
This may be the best combat pistol ever made that no one knows about. It is similar in operation to the Browning High-Power, but the mechanism makes recoil less violent than even the Browning, and also limits wear on the moving parts. It can be cocked with the thumb, and the only safety is a grip safety, allowing quick times into action. Pre-World War 2 Radoms are of excellent quality;
