Default No S&W sub forum so I'll post here!

Had a major impulse buy today. Saw this gem sitting at a LGS, and I couldn't let it sit any longer. Even worse the worker told me someone traded her in on a ! A GLOCK?! Such a heart wrenching story had to have a good ending. So I decided to be this lil orphans Daddy Warbucks.





Pro Series 9mm that I added 10-8 18lpi black and grey grips too.

Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I'm going tomorrow! This might be the first gun I name...If I do, its going to be Annie...maybe I should get some red grips for it then?

I will for sure. I'm very stoked. This has been one of my "grail guns" for a long time. I'm gonna go run it hard tomorrow and see how it stacks up, and I'll do a detailed range report some other time as well.

Thank you. I was really pleased with the way the grips looked on the pistol as well. Also if you haven't ever used the 10-8 grips before, they are very very tacky as far as grip goes, and the scoop makes mag changes beyond easy!

They are made custom for 10-8 by VZ. They even say VZ custom on the back of them along with the 10-8 stamp. Im considering getting some of the 10-8 smith and wesson 1911 U notch sights for that gun as well.

As far as accuracy goes I can comment on that right now. This thing is TIGHT. Even with fast shooting and not really taking my time I managed to make about a 2 1/2" ragged hole at 7 yards with the random flyer here and here. I can only imagine that resting it will make very tight groups all the way out to 25. Beyond stoked for my purchase! Not to work out the demons!
