Shooting the gun one handed with the barrel weight is great. You can still lock the slide open by holding it back and then pressing the lock up. The slide locks open with an empty mag but there is no externally accessible slide lock. Pressing in towards the gun will make it very difficult to use as it will stick in the detent. The safety must be pressed directly up or down. Top: Norc mag, bottom: modified S&W Model 41 mag The S&W mag doesn’t look as good as the Norc one, but whatever Bonus: you get 10 rounds in the Model 41 mag instead of 8 in the TT Olympia. You can modify a S&W Model 41 mag for use in the TT Olympia. But, because 22LR cases put all the pressure at the rim/rear of the follower, you frequently bind the magazine trying to load it because the 22LR rounds must be pitched up in the mag to fit and the shitty round spring has troubles fighting against all the rim binding. Instead of a full length spring that’s shaped to the inside of the mag like most magazines today, it uses a round spring that only bears on the front of the follower. The magazines on mine are TERRIBLE to load. Mags drop free as long as the magazine basepad extensions are aligned with the magazine. The mag release is very recessed and that makes it hard to press. The safety is pretty rough to use and the mag release is pretty recessed If you use the add-on barrel weight, you have to shoot it one handed, Olympic-style. It’s only made for right handed shooters: not only are the controls RH only but the grip swell and shape will make it uncomfortable for lefties to shoot as well. Usability is not great compared with newer handguns. I bought one because it was $200 and there’s a handgun ban coming in Canada. It’s a semi automatic, shrouded hammer, 22LR made in China. The Norinco TT-Olympia is a clone of the 1936 Walther Olympia in the Jaeger (hunter) trim.
