So my project gun was a used Colt Series-80 that cost $200 more than the Dan Wesson. That one took two years of TLC to get it working right.
Well, it's more of a "project" to get my hands dirty...not that the pistol needs work. In fact, I have not shot it yet. Hopefully this week I can sneak out to the range and throw some lead out of it.

I would like to try my hand at checkering, Vbob, trigger work, and some chamfering to say the least. I just can't see myself "practicing" on a $1000 pistol.
