Guns Listing ID: 573219



For sale is one wartime production, German occupation VIS 35 chambered in 9mm. Condition is NRA Very Good. Comes with original issue magazine. German Waffenamt and ‚P.35 (p)‚ designation markings are present on the frame signifying German issue. No import marks are present. This particular example was produced approx. early 1943. Great wartime piece!


A quick mechanical overview of the VIS 35:

The VIS pistol is a single-action, hammer-fired, locked-breech design. The control on the slide is a decocking mechanism that releases the hammer while camming the firing pin up into the slide. There is a grip safety blocking the sear unless fully compressed, but the control in the same position as a thumb safety on a Browning Hi-Power or M1911-style pistol is not a safety.

The take-down lever is used to lock the slide back (as the Browning Hi-Power safety is used) during disassembly to allow removal of the slide release lever. In later variants, this lever is omitted and the slide must be manually aligned to remove the slide release lever. Once the slide and frame are aligned (by the disassembly lever or manually), the recoil guide is pulled forward to release the slide release lever and allow it to drop free. The slide will then be free to run forward and be removed from the frame.

The magazine catch is to the rear of the trigger guard and not at the heel of the grip in the typical European fashion of the time. A pistol lanyard is installed in the heel position for pistol retention. There is no magazine safety.
