I have been toying with buying me a Les Baer (catalogued) PII 5" for stock service pistol.
I have a Colt 5" that has a Kart Barrel and Heinie fixed rear and a regular dovetailed undercut front sight. I use this gun for LEO matches in South Texas.
it the past, this gun would not meet the requirements for NRA Stock Service Pistol but if I am reading the rules correctly, my Colt now does.
My Colt does have the front strap stippled but I dont read that in the prohibited section.
If I am wrong here....let me know so I can save 2g for now. thanks in advance
