Hiya Guy's 
.. I know we get lucky at times and turn up something nice from time to time, but sometimes you come across something truly out of the ordinary that's one of a kind that really makes you grin. Well, this is one of those times and at first I didn't even know what this was when I had this elusive FEG FP9 Vent-Rib High Power fall in my lap. I guess I got lucky when I found out a friend who makes V-Twin parts had it and inquired about selling it for a good price because the Finish was pretty much toast even though you've done a pretty good job of polishing it out nicely, needless to say he didn't have to ask me twice. I realize it might be a good idea to reblue this gem eventually but for now I'll leave it as is, and he put a lot of time into cleaning this up & buffing it out and I think it looks pretty nice. Realistically this is just a P9M (modified) with the extended slide stop & safety and 3 Dot sites which I prefer over the standard P9 + the out of the ordinary yet still pretty kool vent rib that runs the full length of the slide which makes it an elusive strange duck to say the least and I'm just happy I was able to acquire it while I could .
