Did we have discussion on this pistol in 2007 when you uploaded the picture, Mark? I have to say that, while t shows obvious attention to detail and careful workmanship, I don't care for the overall effect of this custom job. It seems designed more to show off what the builder can do than to be a more effective handgun. In particular, I think the Damascus slide complicates the lines and detracts from the appearance. I also think the fancy scallops and lines on the front strap and grasping grooves of the slide are silly - an overall checkering or scalloping pattern would be more visually appealing and likely afford better grip. But that's just me. Stu |
