I currently own two 97BDs and noticed a couple slight differences. Anyone know if there's anything beyond these that are worth noting or more desirable? The triggers are different, the finish is matte vs shiny, and the markings are in different places. Other than that they seem the same. Extended ramp and Tru Dot sights. Oh and they both had the thin grips I just changed one out. Thanks!

Theirs had wood stocks, and a shinier finish. |
