I was referring to other forums where I read that about the grips. I had forgotten you posted that above. No offense given, there.

The issue I see with the grips is that they look glossy at the top and dull at the bottom. I figured I would have to remove the gloss coat from the upper part to make an even finish.

Also, I forgot to get a pic before I left out of there today. I would be willing to bet some Bubba "cowboy'd" it and chipped it. I checked for hammer push off and made sure the ejector rod was straight. Both were good to go. I also pushed on the cylinder while closed to make sure there was no loose crane or gap on the front of the frame. Everything checks out except for the chip.

And I do appreciate all the input, gentlemen. Thank you very much.
