I also note that the left grip has been replaced (and probably the right) since the mag safety was removed. If it was present when the mag safety was in place the left grip would be missing the upper left corner which had to be removed to allow the mag safety to function.

Don,

I've addressed the barrel/receiver question in the above post. Any comments would be appreciated.

Also I was at my FFL again yesterday and removed the grips. They have matching serial numbers (05) to the frame and do look original. The left grip does have a notch in the upper left corner where the magazine safety would have been. It was nicely done though without taking a big chunk out of the grip.

It's too bad that the barrel/receiver doesn't match the rest of the gun. but I still think it's a great find!

Thanks again.
