    REALLY?

    I was responding to this comment you made but which seems to have mysteriously vanished now (except in my reply where I quoted it):

    “Originally posted by 9mmskng”

    “True, but Factory finish job out of the box *****!”


    It’s there in post #10.

    I have a Colt Competition .38 Super and frankly I haven't paid much attention to the finish.... it gets carried and shot frequently though...

    9mm 1911s are a great combination of platform and caliber!

    Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
