Thanks SFi. I am looking forward to them. I figure if they are good enough for Cotep boys, then they cant be half bad!

I am torn between blue and hard chrome. There is a local guy here in Houston West of me that can blue the guns and if I go hard chrome I will send it to Metaloy.

I am having a CBOB chromed by Fords, will let you know what I think when it comes back.

Can you Rocksperts tell me:
1) how deep the lettering on the slide is (I am thinking of having it ground down); and
2) will the tactical 2011 be available in 9mm as well as 45 (if so I will need 2).


Thank you.

Regards,

Alan

Please do let us know how for Ford's guns turnout.

The Rock stamping is not all that deep and can easily taken down.

Take a look closely at my MS bobtail and you will see that the Rock Island stamp is mostly gone and all that really remains is the "Rock Island"

I think that the new rail gun will come only in 45.

Mike

Fine with me. I'm torn between saving money on the RIA rail gun and ordering a full rail TRP. Either way I want the full rail.

Back when I ordered mine I was not aware they could be had without. By the time I knew better it was already too late.
