Used but truly like new, with Davidson grips and an Evolution Gun Works trigger kit. Took it straight to the range after I picked it up, and it is suh-weet. It is my new all-the-time carry gun.<br /><br />Guess that means 2011 came early for me...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781711504345298784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-26078321624050332082010-12-15T16:29:48.836-05:002010-12-15T16:29:48.836-05:00too shinytoo shinyNew Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-9262912424717256752010-12-15T12:54:41.211-05:002010-12-15T12:54:41.211-05:00"There are pluses and minuses to all stainles..."There are pluses and minuses to all stainless"<br /><br />Besides the additional price of stainless, what would you consider to be a 'minus'?Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289639279717534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-59297257093567992042010-12-15T09:39:18.700-05:002010-12-15T09:39:18.700-05:00If it doesn't come with Tritium Sights in the ...If it doesn't come with Tritium Sights in the package, I'd add a set. Never can tell when a Zed may come at you during the night. As for the finish, since it's going to be Stainless, I'd look through the Durocoat catalog and see what catches your fancy. Also, take a look at some of the custom grips out there. Plus an ammo carrier with at least 2 spare magazines.Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-29585879439419974982010-12-15T09:07:47.540-05:002010-12-15T09:07:47.540-05:00If things go as planned, I won't be purchasing...If things go as planned, I won't be purchasing a 1911...
