I'll try to get some pictures up this week. Got a lot going on.

Honestly, I would rather have had a Dan Wesson, but 10mms are pretty rare on GB and prices are hovering around the $1500-$1600 range without shipping. I just couldn't make myself spend the extra money. The whole MIM vs tool steel is definitely something that I won't argue. But the likelihood that I'll wear out the MIM components is VERY unlikely. And since the gun will strictly be a range toy and a sidearm for hunting, I'm not risking my life on the integrity of MIM. At $975 OTD, I just could not pass that up.
