I wonder why they scalloped the back of the slide and mounted the rear sight so far forward on them.

Saw one at my LGS a month ago. One of the original Bellevue ones. $650 and it looked and felt different from most guns.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

It is shorter than the Colt Commander. The barrel is either 3 or 3.5", not quite sure which. The rear sight being set forward on the slide makes it look even shorter, but I believe OAL is 6.75"

The biggest difference I noticed is the grip length. Holds 6 rnd mags. I have medium size hands and could barely get 3 fingers on it.

Despite it's compact size it is a heavy little beast. All steel.
