This one has impressed me. It's very nice, for a stock production pistol.

I snagged (another) one of these at Cabela's in Grapevine, a few days ago. They're a little bit nicer than they were when I bought the previous one, about 20 years ago. As with the previous one, I have plans to modify it a bit, but this time, I'll keep it a little more retro-ish.
