I'm thinking of getting the Loaded Stainless model but can't find one locally. I'm interested in how much parking/non polished area there is on the slide. Could someone post some pics of the top of the slide and the sides? A good description of if the entire top is parked or gleaming stainless would be helpful as well. Thanks. ETA: PX9151LP is the model I'm looking for. |

I've got the champion version of the same pistol. The matte/bead finish retains moisture easily, especially in the hot summer months here in texas. I had a devil of a time keeping it rust free when I was carrying it as my CCW. The mirror polish isn't really mirrored, but it's a good polish start if you plan on taking flitz or metal polish to it to make it really shine. If you're going to use it for range shooting, they are fantastic, I'm very impressed with the fit/finish, and reliability of mine, except for the rusting problem above, and I wear next to skin, so that was probably a contributing factor as well. |
I shot 40/50rd. of 200 SWC at 25 yards in a 6 inch group non benchrest with a #3.5 trigger job. You can also change out the ILS mainspring with a #19 spring and this will lighten up the trigger for less than $10 without going to the gunsmith route. My only complaint was the trigger pull was around #6.5 when it was new. This is a nice gun for $699. |
I used to on the outside of the barrel, I switched to very light coating of clp after I was done cleaning and not a problem in 2 years. |
