I don't remember about the front sight. I think he painted a white outline on the rear so might suspect paint on the front. I will definetly look on Monday. If God wants another S&W in my safe then things will all work out. First item on shopping trip is a 1911 9mm for my wife. We will see...

After doing some research discovered that some of the earlier ones had issues with excessive diameter cylinder throats. I need all the help i can get to shoot accurate anyway. Me and my micrometer went out today to measure the cylinder throats. .455, i asked the LGS guy if he had a 45 acp...

Thanks guys, going to a gun show in Hickory, NC thhis weekend. If i come home empty and the gun is still available on mon then it was meant to be. Then we shall see what we see. Like i say each time before i bring one of these things home "I don't want this gun." LOL Thanks Jay
