Well I sent the gun off to Beeville Armory for some work. Having an Ed Brown action put in, XS Sights installed, some VZ grips, and I am having them refinish the whole thing in Gun Kote flat black. I know I will get flamed for taking a NIB pistol and gutting it, but I just wasn't happy with the stock configuration. Hoping to have it back in a week or so, I'll post some pics when I do.
