Interesting about the 20 round mags.  I thought everything was restricted to 10 now.

probably pre-bans
Personally I don't like these gold and silver plated "collectors" guns, as I shoot all the guns I buy and wouldn't want to shoot, and lessen the value of, these expensive "collector" editions

I'm thinking that a lot of pimps are really looking forward to being the home boy on their block to own such a fine collectable.

That's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it.  "Chrome-plated pimp gun."

I like fine workmanship as much as the next guy, but I have NEVER understood gold-plating on a firearm, much less anything as gaudy as THIS thing.

$3500 for a post ban pimp gun that I'd be embarrased to take to the range. No thanks, I can buy 2 pre-bans and have enough left for a beta-C mag.
