Guardian 2012
Picked up this Guardian in a trade on Friday. The fired casing is dated in 2012. I will do a little review once I get some lead down range. The PO said it had less than 1k rounds through it. Both Joe and I believe it has even less than that by the condition of the inside bits. I'm sure it is "broken in" but, I will make sure it eats anything without a problem before I carry this pistol. The blueing looks worn on the frame with some holster wear but, no big deal breaker for me.
I want to thank Joe (joe) for watching my six while I met the unknown and did the deal. Here are some prelim pics, the only thing I have changed are the grip screws. Trying to decide what kind of grips would look and function good with this two tone pistol. Here you go, no more teaser shots. I'm still trying to find the right lighting setting on this camera. Looks like I need to build a cheap light box/soft box.
