I very much appreciate and want to thank you for the information. It's always nice to get some historical background on a used weapon. It does have the plastic grips with the thumb rest and I pondered changing them for wood, but I do like the feel of the molded plastic grip and will keep it original. I ordered white sight paint to get the sights back tp their original color as well. I haven't taken it to the range yet, but did a bit of informal shooting at a 8" steel plate hanging out back and it shoots like a dream using Federal's 165gr HST ammo.

You are most welcome SM. There are lots of...some expensive, grip options out there...I've got most of 'em, but truth be told I too like the factory thumbrest plastic grips myself. They've been around quite a while...first introduced with the MkII in '81, and standard for the MkIIIs thereafter. Hope you enjoy your new treasure .

This stuff is my favorite as it has a needle applicator.
I have also used typewriter white out on the tip of a toothpick with good results.
Make sure the sight is degreased and free of any oil before applying either.

I was able to use the tip of a pocket knife to scrape the colored paint off the sights and they are indeed white underneath. They are however in need of freshening up so once that paint arrives I'll give them a new coat of white.
