Here is my submission. I am not only a submitter, I am also a customer. =D

PS Sorry for alot of pics up front

As you can see there is a lil bit of wear on the slide. There is some scratches from that nub rubbing during disassembly. The guy who put on the night sights tore them and the top of my slide all to hell, the pic doesn't do it justice.

This is one of the older versions that has the older slide finishing.

Thanks for looking!

I'd give it to Fish609 for that ugly barrel alone.

I, too, must give props to fish for at least shooting the sh!t out of his gun!

I've got a significant amount of wear on the barrel too. But I didn't post pics of it since I believe the contest is for the slide only.

Loves2Shoot, is that correct?

Itchy,

Ugly is ugly, and some of the ugliest ones I've seen have been previously re-finished, so you are good to go.

Just to be clear, I refinished mine AFTER that picture was taken, it looks new now. Just wish i would have waiting..lol

Fish it is, just for the hammer job on the sights. I bet your knuckles are still hurting over that one.

I couldn't help but notice the rust in your barrel in the top pic and rusty pins.
Cosmetic wear is one thing, but rust is unacceptable, sorry to have to do this,
-1 for you

We'll do the barrel and pins (or whatever parts the winner(s) feel capable of sending in and being able to reassemble too.)

Sorry guys, I was cleaning it so I figured I would take pictures of everything. I'm not trying to cheat or anything. When I soak the thing in oil it looks a lot better. My camera wasn't working with me and the pics also turned out a little blurry. I was probably too close or something but really I need a new camera, this is like a 3.1 megapixel from 2002.
