Was doing some research and came across this old thread. Some information on the VIS-35 (Radom) 9mm.

It is reputed to be one of the best 9mm pistols to come out of WWII. The Type I pistol (the one with the shoulder stock slot in the backstrap) Is quite desireable, and a bit on the pricey side. And, because of the limited years of production, should be shot sparingly. Parts are almost impossible to find. (In this country at least) Records are sketchy on production numbers of this pistol, but its believed to be somewhere between 3 and 400,000.

The Type I WITH the holster/stock is REALLY valuable. The stock was discontinued in the first year and a half of production.

There were three types of VIS 35s produced. Type I had the slot for the shoulder stock and the take down lever, as well as a slide release, hammer drop lever and take down lever. It was known as the three lever model.

Type II was exactly the same as Type I less the should stock slot.

TYPE III was a late war model without the takedown lever and was known as the two lever model.

Below is my Type III.
