Talo, and the others, make some great designs and some not so great, just pick what you like. I own several Talo/Lipsey/Williams..guns because they appealed to me. However, don't trust them when they claim it's a limited edition gun because it may or may not be. They made a complete mess out of the Wiley Clapp GP100 guns. Also keep in mind that whatever claims the sellers make about these dealer exclusive guns, if it's not also printed on the dealer website (Talo/Lipsey/Williams/Davidson's) it's not true. The shops selling the Wiley Clapp GP100's were claiming that only 2000 stainless models would be made and 2500 blued models would be made. Pretty much every shop I saw selling these guns was making the same claim, however, this was never the case. Talo only said they were making 2000 stainless models (which they screwed up and made/sold approximately 4800) but they never said anything about selling only 2500 blued models. The shops selling these guns added that part to charge even higher prices which also carried over to the resale market. People rushed out to get one of the 2000 stainless models and one of the 2500 blued models, usually paying a significantly higher premium, only to find out later it was all B.S..
So when it comes to dealer exclusives, verify the sellers claims by checking the dealer website or contacting them if their website isn't available to the public (I frickin' hate that crap). Even if the dealer verifies the claims understand that they can, will and have sold way more of a supposed limited edition than they advertised (Talo I'm looking at you) and they don't care.
