After a McMuffin and a McGriddle, son and I went to the range. He shot the 1936 M34 Beretta in .380 (American Eagle 95gr) , and I shot my 1937 M29 Walther PP in 7.65 using Fiocchi 73gr. I forgot how sweet this pistol really is, especially after I found a correct pre-war finger extension magazine for it. Son was having trouble hitting using the American Eagle ammo. I tried a couple shots and fount it was shooting about 6 inches low at 30 feet; you had to aim at the red line at 12:00. He also put a magazine from the PP on the target and did much better. He seems to do better with revolvers on single action. I also emptied one magazine of SD ammo out of my carry M13 Sauer 7.65 into his target as well.

Nice.... glad to see the kid is shooting more with you. My best memories of my dad as a kid revolve around shooting and fishing.
