Black Widow Opinions

Buy the byf, but request the seller to offer 14-day non-firing inspection period, so you have enough time to inspect yourself, and optionally consult other people if you're not sure (that will take time). That's not a big deal for the seller, 3-day and 14-day makes no difference for him. Your risk is minimum. For new collectors, this way is much safer than randomly buying one from local gun show.

Thanks all! What do you think of these grips? I think the gun is in great shape and the finish isn't too bad. Comes from a vet as expected. I'm just hung up on the grips and why they appears to be painted black. I know byf 42's had wood grips but maybe someone wanted to "fit in" with the black widow crowd? Maybe it's possible to remove the black paint?

Sufficient wear pattern by the safety lever so I don't think it was recently done...
