First, That is some of he best photography I have ever seen. Second, if you don't stop that I am going to give in to the low priced, no lock beauty and my resistance is low as it is. Great gun and great photography.
 
Superb photo and a great looking gun. I was under the impression that these were NLA.

What Bud's stock number is it?

From Budsgunshop $361 delivered, stock number
162810 but since you're a veteran ;) you can buy from the other Buds, Budspolicesupply for less $320 delivered, 150544LE.
 
Outstanding! All that needs is a set of checkered Cocobolo Boot grips.

My hands may too sensitive but I tried checkered wood on my 442 and switched to smooth wood. Practice sessions with +P were just a bit too uncomfortable (and I don't like rubber grips at all) though I could have 'smoothed' the checkering a bit.

Nice photo. Is the light box home made?

Different strokes, & all that. I detest smooth grips for shooting, feels like the gun, especially a small one, is gonna' fly out of my hand. Smooth grips do look good in pictures, though. I have a set of Altamonts with the pressed checkering that gives you someting to hold onto, but isn't sharp, pretty good compromise. JMO.
 
kng;

I am a published photographer and I have to say that your photo ranks with the best I have seen.

EXCELLENT work!

Excellent picture.


I have the same "no-lock" gun bought from Bud's last summer. It sure is a great ccw weapon with some pretty decent performing +P Gold Dot loads.

I'm contemplating different grips for mine, now. The factory grips do well when shooting, but feel "hot" in my pocket. I'm looking around for other alternatives now. I'm thinking about the VZ models.
