I still have one. Good shooter, although I haven't shot it in a while. Back when i bought it, the dealer got several in. The one they showed me from the case and wanted to sell me had an awful lot of frame/slide play and a gritty trigger. He got another out of the back and it was much better; so I bought that one. The finish on the early ones like yours is not very durable and edge wear shows up rather quickly. Otherwise its good gun; EXCEPT; the ambi safety requires a notch in the right side grip panel that most grips don't have. Careful work with a Dremel and small head bit can fix that.
