This one had to get a trigger job after SA "repaired" the thumb safety that broke after 20 rounds and returned it with a trigger pull that was higher than the 9# limit on my trigger pull scale. Gunsmith installed a CMC Titanium/Carbon Fiber trigger and tuned the action to 3.5#. The grip panels are S&A Black Rosewood and replaced the ultra-thin panels that the gun originally came with.

Wow, that's a sharp looking pistol, Asmodeous! How's it shooting for you? What do you use it for primarily?

I know I would love a "black" stainless.

My sweat is very corrosive, I've almost destroyed a Sig Sauer P-226 slide, after carrying it IWB, touching my skin, some years ago. I am sold to stainless ever since, but I still prefer the blue guns look. This would be the perfect combination.

I wish it was available when I got my stainless 9mm.

The gun shoots amazing well for a production pistol. I was shooting 2" groups at 25 yards offhand with 185 gr match wadcutters.

As far as what I use it for primarily, well it pretty much sits in the safe at the moment between trips to the range. I recently retired my full size 1911 carry gun, that was built for me by Austin Behlert ~ 20 years ago, in favor of my lightly tuned SW1911, and I picked up a Kimber Team Match II last week to shoot IDPA with, so this one is keeping the other 1911's in my collection company at the moment.
