No I mean one of these; the Rob Leatham Legend series. The MSRP on this gun is $3,000. Notice the R L on the rear right side of the slide. Swwweeeeeeeeettt.

So what's the story with that pistol? What did it start as, what have you done to it? Looks like you added a rail...are these commonly available parts?

Thanks!

Thanks, I love it so far. I am not sure about the grips. I picked them up in a local shop for around $20. They were in a Hogue box, but that is not who made them. I prefer them to the GI stamped ones that came with it.

I plan to put 500 or so rounds through it before any more changes. I'd like a skeletonized hammer and trigger, different sights and a mainspring housing with and attached magwell. Just a little at a time for now.  By the way, beautiful operator!

Fist attemp at loading a picture, so bear with me.  This is a Mil-spec I recently picked up with mods done by EGW.  Haven't shot it yet, probably will this weekend.
