I bought his gun this past April at the Southern SxS. It was a good solid gun that fit me well but it had lost all traces of the original finish. I am not one for restoring guns (only 2 in my life time) but this one seemed to be a magic wand at the traps. I picked it up yesterday from Gunter Pfrommer. I didn't take any 'before' photos but here a few 'after' photos. Checkering is and was 22 lines/inch. Last edited by Walter C. Snyder; 08/05/11 08:02 AM.

Too many 4Es! This can happen when you don't have a wife providing financial council. Last edited by Walter C. Snyder; 08/05/11 10:53 AM.

Too many 4Es! This can happen when you don't have a wife providing financial council. Or, when they don't ask any more if you are a senior for the discount. My wife gave up 'counseling' a long time ago before I drove her nuts.
