I'll join John in seeing the "softness" of this pistol's lines. The first glance at a pic can give that impression, or not, and I try to always check for it before getting into the fine details of the closeups. In this case, however, it is very slight, and definitely a credit to whoever worked on this gun. I wish I could check it out in-hand!
