I doubt I won't like it, just feels good in the hand.

Was a pleasure to attend, to meet your wife and have some great talk. Thanks for the great Zippo! My sons are fighting over it. Little known when you gave it to me is the inscribed words are what I have lived by for decades as the pic shows. The embroidery was made for me by my sister over thirty years ago, back when I would smack people for saying good morning. I have calmed quite some. Great meeting, great buy!!! Both sons won in Little league yesterday, season extended, we will get range time in the next few weeks!

That's awesome.
I almost grabbed the Harley version but, something told me to grab that one instead. Glad I did and that you like it. Thanks again for the cover. It was great chatting and catching up.

I'm looking at VZ in either the ETC or Operator ll series for grips. I like the thin grips from STI but, I don't see that option from VZ for the officer size grips...?... If had the ability to checker his grips, that would solve my grip issues...lol.

I have noticed one thing while messing with it. The thumb safety seems too easy to disengage with no tactile feel to it. In other words, I don't feel it "click" into the safe and fire possitions. It feels mushy, if that makes sense. Could this be a plunger spring issue?
