Thanks.. I am too..but since this was for my wife I thought I would dress it up a bit. At least they're not pink..

I like the black rubber, and the stainless screws....I also upgrade the guide rod and spring lbs., and change the mag release to an inox one, and I change it to right hand release........I also paint the front sight dot green, and the rear sight dots white, for better aquisition.

Do you have a picture of your sights with the new colors? I want to do something to this one..

Sorry, no pics......I use a toothpick, and Testors white and green.......just a small amount in each dot....helps me, being nearsighted.....

Thanks... will do the operation this weekend..

They have a plethora of colors....some work better than others.....depends on your eyes......I experiment with colors.

Well??????????????

Mighty fine looking gun she has there.

Your wife must have some good-sized hands.

And I mean that in a nice way.

She has complained about the grip being too big for her.. she may take my Ruger 1911 and give me this gun..oh well.. did not do the sights yet.. going to see if I can get used to them red.

Well, your getting the better of the trade......it's why I bought my wife a Ruger SR40.........perfect grips for her.

We went to buy holsters for our guns at a local gun shop and my wife spied one of these and said she just had to have one.. so we got two...these things go BOOM! Cheaper to shoot then our 9mm's...If you don't have one I would suggest you get one.. cheap..

If your wife doesn't like it you should just sell it...to me, cause I can take it off your hands.

LOL... She likes it but can't shoot it well.. she took my SR1911 and gave this one back to me.. I think I will keep it...but thanks for the offer.

How much if you don't mind me asking? Looks awesome!

Bought it at Kevin's Guns in Atlanta.. had it shipped to my FFL... I think I paid about $750 for it. Good luck finding one now..

No kidding I went to the local gun store called Turners in Orange County, CA yesterday. The display cases were virtually empty.

So, did you do anything with the sights?????????

I replaced the rear site with the Novak target sites... they work well.. I did not paint them. Not shooting it much due to the price of ammo and lack of it. We've got a lot of ammo for the Mosin's so we're shooting those. We will have to wait until the craziness dies down and ammo becomes available again. Will probably need a background check to buy more than 50 rounds...

Good choice.....I preferred to go the cheaper route....is working for me.....
