Thanks cirelaw! I bought some cheap ball ammo and a new aftermarket magazine to test fire it soon. It's in great mechanical condition; I've disassembled it, cleaned, oiled, and reassembled it properly. The slide components are in great shape with 90% blueing; most of the wear appears to be "holster wear". I cleaned the barrel and it is sharp and clean; no pitting. I think it is a decent shooter. Next question; since the two original mags and grips match, I was thinking of replacing them with new ones and setting the original aside to preserve them when I shoot it. Is that a waste of money, or smart? Won't be firing it for a few days so I'm definately listening!!! Thanks! KF
