Boomsticks: Wishin' I was rich.

Guess what we just got in at the shop?

A shiny new uber-rare Springfield Professional.

Wish I could afford it, 'cause the only thing finer than having one Pro would be having two...

Sigh.

But all things considered I'll stick with my XD45 and my P220, which put together ran me about 1/3 the cost of that little gem you're drooling over.; 3:48 PM, December 04, 2006

Yeah. That's my downfall; I think every toy I get has to have a playmate.

Unlike some marketing ploys, this is the actual weapon used by the FBI: the smith making it has no idea if the weapon is going to fulfill the FBI contract or onto the commercial market.

It is a handfitted weapon capable of superb accuracy while maintaining excellent reliability. The 20 LPI checkering on the fronstrap is also good for grating cheese or tenderizing meat.; 10:44 AM, December 06, 2006
