aint been here in a while but my 469 looks or should i say used to look like the others posted.got it on GB for $275 got it home and disassembled it and it was full of cosmoline.absolutely zero wear on barrel or bushing surface.proceeded to fire up the drum sander and removed that stupid looking hook from the trigger guard and trimmed ears at back of frame so 3rd gen grip fits.next the frame got a coat of arctic shadow duracoat and slide got matte black durabake.add a set of hogue wrap around grips and you cant tell it from my 6906 edc.i know it may have been blasphemy(no one...absolutely no one loves a S&W handgun more than me)but it was a project gun.my father liked it so much he offered a trade!his UNFIRED except for factory 640 357 j frame.hey it was his idea!if i could figure out how to post pics i would.
