I think one of the really cool things about the G.I. series is that it's very close to the issue gun for service members in W.W. II (or so I was reading). I don't think I want to change too much for that reason. It's a nice conversation peice.

The trigger is a bit rough right now, but I'll focus more on that after I get 500+ more rounds down the tube. If it's still tight I'll send it in to have that adjusted, but I think that'll be it.

Right - except for the whole stainless thing...

Kidding man, very nice. I just picked a parkerized GI and I like it a lot. Do you think the GI grips would be a Karma anyone would be interested in? I've already changed them out.

Ths will be one of my next purchases. I love these pistols. $482 at Wallyworld. Got to get one.

You can still buy handguns at Wallyworld in Alaska? The ones around here in NewYorkistan barely want to carry handgun ammo. I can deal with the Upstate winters, not so sure about 6 months of darkness. Decisions decisions...

Oh yeah we are also a Machine gun state. I see the nutjobs out every now and then with their MAC-10's and UZIs.

I think the SS MilSpec is a great value.

I can appreciate your desire to leave it essentially stock.

In my case I decided the MilSpec was the perfect base gun for custom work.. so, if you take the base gun and add a couple of mortgage payments to it.. it looks like this.

Now that is a beauty
