Low value guns are all about function not beauty. Thats because you can just dump so much money into making them beautiful you end up hating them because you regret spending too much on them. So you have two economical choices. Take the extension off and add a pad or just shoot it as it is. Call it your rainy day gun. I have got a few of them. Funny thing is that I dont shoot very much in the rain but I still have them.
