    There's a Canadian distributor, I see, but no pricing and no eCommerce.

    Amazons probably the simplest.

    Sounds like good stuff

    Any finishes, some collectors even put it on wood. There is a reason that museums use that wax. If you look at some of the Python pictures on this forum you'll see the results. The best price I got for it was directly from England. (Fleabay)

    Drifting to adjust windage isn't really a practical type of adjustment imo and requires tools most don't have in the range bag. With a gun like this, I'm sure it is well aligned though, so hopefully all you'd need to do is adjust for elevation to accommodate your favourite load. I've seen some Novak type sites (and like on some CZs) where the site is locked in place with an allen screw instead of friction. Much easier to adjust for windage, though you do need to monitor the screw as it can loosen.

    According to my readings the Colt Govt Combat 45 ACP is on par with a custom build...
    Quite surprising and interresting... Another thing to make me think, i dont get much mental rest when i shop on CGN dealers... JP.

    The only things missing on these custom Colt's is the checkered front strap & high cut grip like my LB has. It sure looks good tho.
