ahhh, right on, thanks a lot....ya, about $600, not to bad....I could always buy myself a Norinco and put in $200 worth of mods tho.....hard to say. But I like the fact that it comes with nicer sights, beaver tail grip safety, and skeleton hammer/trigger with a nicer finish already done for me....I'm a little poor after just buying myself a CZ SP-01, so I'm looking for the cheaper variants of the 1911.
