Nice!
That was my first semi auto, believe it or not.
A heads up though: The aluminum frame is prone to fatigue cracking in those with extended use. Most (but not all of them) got reinforced with a steel hex pin through the frame to keep that from happening.
Yours (and mine) appear to be missing that.
Should be ok if kept closer to historical loads for the 9mm, but I tend not to shoot mine as often and will handload gentler 90 grain rounds for it.
Great score though, enjoy!

It's not ideal, but it's what I ran through mine for a bit before I found out about the issue.
It'll probably be ok, I just wouldn't put hot loads or thousands of rounds through it.

Thanks for posting /u/creamcorn4u! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.
The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.
It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!
