Before anyone asks, the price was $570 shipped NIB
The pictures below do not due the bluing job justice. Its the way bluing used to be done back in the day since it compares to my Colt 1903 with original blued finish and many other older guns.
The build quality is superb with just a small amount of play between the slide and frame. It feels like a rock solid machine when I hold it in my hand. The 13rd mag that comes with it is of a dull blued color that has the "mouse trap" spring. The sights consist of a 3 block like setup similar to 3 dots, however I seem to like the blocks better. The grips are checkered wood that are quite grippy and I wouldn't have it any other way.
According to my scale, the weight with an empty mag is right at 32oz. Not a big deal since I'm used to the weight of a 1911 and the fact that it fits in the same leather holsters is a plus.
I've had a C & S no bite hammer kit waiting here for this gun to arrive. After gripping it like I normally would I would be bleeding after one shot. I'm not going to try it out first because I know when a gun will bite my hand as soon as I grip it and I want my first range trip with it to be a pleasant one.
Not much more to say until the range trip which I will be sure to post up ASAP.
