Back in the early 90's I saw one that had been made into an IPSC gun: comp barrel, milled for Bomar sights, beavertail, etc. Guess he wasn't into collectibles . It was actually pretty hideous.
Yuck, yuck,
as the great philosopher Forrest Gump would say,
"hideous is as hideous does".
If you had happened to attend some of the IPSC Canuckistanni championship shoots around that time, you would have seen more than one such monstrousity. It looked like some memebers of the Alberta team had more money than brains, as more than one of these Hideousities showed up.
Oh well, in my sordid career as a gunsmiter, I IPSCed a few collectibles ... a couple of genuine Colt Ace .22 pistols, a few very tidy pre war Colt commercials,
and more US GI junkers than you could imagine.
If it don't shoot, chrome it ...
