| Interestingly, I have never, that I recall--which may not be accurate--seen an ODI Viking for sale. Yet I have a seen an actual Seecamp conversion for sale, at OGCA. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: A couple of things -- the ODI Viking used the Seecamp Conversion by way of a license from Seecamp. It was the only "factory production" Seecamp DA/SA pistol ever done. And the one I had was truly different in that it had a push button safety at the rear of the slide that blocked the firing pin. This was in addition to the normal Colt-style manual safety and grip safety. Really strange! Harvey Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: ODI Viking Image Info: The ODI Viking was an early 1911-based double action .45 auto, which was a commercial take-off of the aftermarket Seecamp Conversion. At the time the stainless stleel construction was also radical for a semi-auto. This photo is from a magazine review circa 1983. MSRP at the time was $579.  |
