Oh wow, that's beautiful! Did you have any internal work done, or just cosmetic?

Good grief that thing is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Tim, that is SWEET!

I especially like the "slab side" treatment (takes all the Ruger/read owners manual etc. off).

I may send my wife's 101 in for slab siding and have the cylinder recessed for full moon clips.

A range trip is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

To tell you the truth I have never owned a handgun that has been customized. I had to work some extra hours announcing football games and tutoring to get the money. My son in Florida is already asking me if it's going to be a hand me down....hahahahahahaha
