I looked at one this week at a local shop. It's about time they brought back a barrel and slide that look like something instead of that gray Krylon they call "stainless". Didn't pay much attention to the sights but it looked like the same rear as is on my 90's vintage 7" fluted model except a white vertical bar and then I think the front was a steel blade and not the Hi-Viz fiber optic. I liked the shape of the grips as they felt better than the bulky gray laminate target grips. I also liked the stippling / logo design on the grips, however the choice of wood is borderline hideous. Its way too light and looks cheap in my mind. The darker rosewood laminate would have looked better in my opinion or even better some walnut. Price was about right I guess at $300. Overall a nice piece looking package, but then again if I was going to spend $300 again (which I did on my 7" model), I'd buy a 422 and a couple of bricks of good ammo instead.
