I appreciate the welcome, I have checked out the FAQ, very useful, and put together well.

My initial thought was to find a mixed parts gun, until I started reading here it didn't occur to me that non matching pistols would be more likely to have functioning issues(that should have been obvious to me). I understand that an all matching pistol loses quite a bit of value from being refinished, but does a refinish really relegate it to a shooter to be used and abused?

I've been watching what appears to be a matching chromed BYF 41 thats been relisted 3-4 times, I lost track. Judging from the lack of interest I thought the $1000 price tag might be a bit much, but its still kind of tempting because I wouldn't end up in a bidding war.

Initially I had no interest in a .30 Luger, but if/when I get a 9mm, it might be fun to have both to compare.
