I do believe that you send the adoption fee (sale price) to one of the places that offers them. I used Summit Gun Broker. No complaints about those folks, There is also copper custom if you like.

I received 2... one with a SN in the 2000 range that has a good amount of holster, seat belt, and duty wear and on in the 9700 range that has less. The 2000 SN range functioned flawlessly and is smooth. I haven't shot the other yet.

From the pictures I have seen the ones with the lower SN seem to have more wear... and this makes since since I am sure they where issues more on less according to SN.

I really like this one! I am thinking about getting another. Don't know why but I really like them.
