I've finally fixed the vertical alignment in my Leica. This photo has nothing to do with that. Fixing it wasn't to tricky, you just need a small screw driver. I'm still at a loss as to how it got out of alignment in the first place. Hopefully I didn't break the distance alignment while making my fix. I'll need to do a roll and see what's up. Update Sometime later, I noticed the distance alignment was out of whack. Son of a bitch.

My friend had acquired a 1959 Leica M2 and some accessories she wanted me to check out. I cheerfully obliged.
My Leica M2 fitted with a screw to bayonet adapter and Russian Jupiter 8 lens. This was a camera shop freebie which confirms that digital cameras have taken over and anything film based is now worthless. The lens cost more than the camera! Gimped in Puppy

The Mauser M2 was actually manufactured by SIGArms between 2000 and 2004. Early production guns were made in Germany, while later examples were assembled in SIG's Exeter, New Hampshire facility from imported parts. The M2 was available in .40 S&W and .45 ACP calibers; a .357 SIG version was made for less than a year and is seldom seen.
The M2 was advertised as being "The safest handgun on the market today" as it had several types of internal safeties: a firing pin block prevents the striker from releasing unless the trigger is pulled all the way; a magazine disconnect prevents the pistol from firing with the magazine removed; a disconnector prevents firing out of battery (slide is not fully closed); a spring holds the striker at the half-cock position, which prevents firing if it is accidentally released. A loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide can be seen or felt. Finally, a manual safety is located on the rearmost part of the frame and moves side to side, a rather unusual configuration!
The operating system is striker fired, short recoil, locked breech with a rotating barrel. The trigger is double action only. The barrel has traditional lands - and - grooves rifling. The frame is made from aluminum alloy. Since all production of the M2 took place during the U. S. "assault weapons" ban years, magazine capacity was limited to 10 rounds for the .40 and .357 and 8 rounds for the .45. The pistol in these photos is a .40 caliber model, the type most commonly encountered. I have seen and handled a .45 or two but have yet to run across a .357 SIG version.
A small number of early production guns were plagued by malfunctions, mostly striker lockups after a few hundred rounds and the rotating barrels sometimes jammed with small amounts of dirt or fouling and/or too much / too little lubrication. Although these issues were mostly resolved early on, the reputation remained and the M2 was never a big seller.

Bear Lines # 12361, (the UC Berkeley campus bus system...) a bus on a Freightliner M2 truck chassis working the "Perimeter Line", arrives at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Center Street in downtown Berkeley, CA to make the connection to the BART system. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens.
Seen behind the Bear Lines bus is an AC Transit VanHool, working the 52 line to UC Village, which will also stop at this side of the street, see next photo for more detail...
There's also an AC Transit Gillig working the 18 line into Albany, CA over on the left side of shot - that line stops across Center Street.
