Where do you find those good deals? I walk for hours and never see anything close to what you find.

Hi Norm, very nice, did not know that Sam's came with 30 LPI checkering both front and rear? If that was an after market add it was a very nice one and made the purchase that much sweeter, like the holster also, how do you do it?
Very Cool,

G.R.
P.S.
If you did the checkering please PM me with your address as I have a job for you.

Norm, I did notice the change in the frame and thought the photo's were just out of sequence, how did you remove the checkering?
