Went and shot it today at my local range. Shot great! The original owner lost the roll pin for the front sight but I went and shot it anyway. The front of sight started to drift to the right pretty bad, but the gunsmith and the shop made me a new roll pin, so we are all set now! All in all its fantastic, and the slide to frame fit is great. I unfortunately have to sell it though. I am needing some cash to roll into a different project. So if anyone is interesting I'll take any serious offers. Just shoot me a PM.

The before pics where literally a completely detail stripped, sand blasted pistol in a cardboard box. Kind of sad to be honest. Gal that owned it had high hopes, and then just never got around too it. I showed it to her a few days ago, and shes entertaining the idea of buying it back. As far as refinish goes I got a good deal from a local certified Cerakote guy. Bought him some lunch, and then paid an undisclosed amount which was much less than it should have been to get it done.
If anyone is interested I'm planning on letting it go for around 875 with the original rosewood grips that came on it...they might be cocobolo too...not sure. I'll probably post it up monday if the gun show doesnt treat me well tomorrow and sunday.

Looks like she went to a good home today. Found a guy looking for a new IDPA gun and would shoot the rails clean off. It was his first DW, and he was beyond stoked. Got what I wanted out of it, and he got an awesome pistol!

Good on you. Nice project, well executed with beautiful results. Even better a quick sale to a good home that will use it well. Congrats.
