    I was just thinking...

    To the serious US collectors, having one of ours would probably be more collectable than the US model.

    Or, on the same token, would be a perfect "partner" for the collectors that already own the US version.

    And there's only half as many "International Editions", making it even harder to aquire down there.

    Pimp that ##### out across the border, on GunBroker... I'd guess it'd fetch ~ $2000 USD.


    * sorry to hear about your job, I know the feeling...

    Thanx Boomer.

    If I was still working, I was thinking about getting an American version, too.

    Just got mine today and couldn't be happier. Pistol is beautiful and engravings are top notch. Thanks Frontier for great experience.

    My 100th Anniversary arrived this afternoon. That is lightning-fast service and, like Bak Dur said, it is a beautiful gun -- I particularly like the feel of the trigger.

    I found the engraving, however, especially on the slide, to be shallow and difficult to see. Has anyone else found this?

    Mine showed up but was more concerned about getting it in the house without gettting beaten to death.

    Will examine more closely tomorrow.

    Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.

    Didnt shoot mine yet.
    but today i was cycling a snap cap from the mag, and the stupid thing didnt go in fully and got completely stuck in the barrel. I had to literally hammer it out of the barrel. When i got it out, the snap cap was deformed. I field stripped it and lubed it up with my oils.
    I cant believe how tight and rough everything is. Its a struggle to pull the slide back, the spring was practically glued to the guide rod, the slide release didnt want to go in.......................is it cuz its new?? will it start smoothening out?? i have a taurus 1911 that i bought new and it was never like this when i first got it.
