Chris, Congratulations on your excellent buy. I must disagree with Wes however much this pains me. If the grips are original and in excellent shape they have quite a bit of value. I took out an original shooter the other day and severly cracked an original grip while shooting it. Why risk ruining a valuble pair of grips when a repro pair works just fine for shooting? Also I will say something about fluted fireing pins...Just because Karl has never observed a mishap with one dosen't mean the Germans changed the design for no good reason. I imagine they did it because they had a teeny tiney bit more experience with this subject. You only have two eyes and ten fingers but I suppose you don't need all of them? Jerry Burney
