Well, some may consider this gun confused. I don't. Its 100% SA Pro, and it just came in today. It was received at SA 9/9/05 and came back home 1/4/06.
The gun started out as an WW II Mil Spec in OD Green. As you will see shortly, it has now received the SA Custom Shop full Pro Package.
Here's how the gun came packed.
You see the WWII's green case I sent it in, an envelope with 6 tuned Metalform Mags, and another with the leftover parts removed from the GI. Here's the leftovers.
Hrere's how the gun was in its case.
Here's the gun. I'll just say I can't find a flaw. The finish is beatiful, the checkering looks and feels great. If my camera were better i'd love to show the fit of the grip safety and mag well etc.
Here it is with the 6 tuned mags.
Here's the best shots I could get of the fitting.
The lockup is as tight as a Baer and the slide to frame fit is fantastic. The original gun has a nice fit, but it is now even better. I've held a few CRG pros and the only differences I see are the serial number, the custom logo, and the Ordnance logo. Deb said before I sent it in that slide to frame fit may suffer sooner then a gun built on a custom shop frame and slide, but she said this should last 75% as long which to me means well over 75000 rounds, and I would venture to guess it will just be getting broken in around that time.
Dealing with the custom shop was a 100% pleasure. I talked to Deb before sending it in, confirmed receipt of the base gun by email, and left them alone until the last week in Dec. I emailed to check on it and was told early January, and then 1/4/06 and here we are.
I plan a range trip as soon as time and weather permit and will post an update.
later,
AJ
