Members of Team 3rd Gen are a reasonable bunch. You're not going to get thrown off the team for peeking into the plastics display and becoming temporarily excited by dirt cheap prices and the attractiveness of a new/old design handgun (i.e., plastic w/hammer)... brand new in box. We don't like to state it too often in public, but many members of the team own at least one modern plastic wonder gun for one reason or another, including yours truly.

But do you really want to own a gun that has to have instructions on the side telling you where to grip it? I could never do that!

So repent brother GaryS, repent! And remember: Whatever you buy in plastic today will be worth next to nuthin' tomorrow! But buying another 3rd Gen today is money in the bank practically forever!
