MG, This whole thing looks monkeyed with. The aluminum bottom mags look parkerized. The wood bottom you can see is blued? The toggle being ground down far enough to erase the maker mark is dangerous to shoot in my opinion. It could have cracked there and been welded and thusly the maker mark obliterated. (worse case scenario) The mag pouch is worth $150 the mags maybe $50@ so $350 for accesories. That leaves $700 for an unsafe shooter, IMO. If I were looking for an artillery I would keep my money in my pocket untill I found one I could shoot without worrying about the toggle or the bad pitting I see. It's your money but for just a bit more I would say you could find a much better pistol if you had some patience. I always believe it's better to spend a little more to buy quality and when you go to sell you will not have to apologize for anything wrong with the pistol. My advice for this rig is NO.

While I am at it I feel it is courteous to leave your name when communicating with fellow Forum members. Why more people do not do this I cannot understand. Simply sign, at least your first name at the end and everyone has a reference for future communications. Thanks, Jerry Burney
