A little skateboard tape on the front grip and I'd carry that beast

Found one pic of the govt' model stash. I will have to track down the others or take some new ones to contribute here.

I like it. Very functional. I too would add grip tape and it would be GTG. What work was done to it? What finish did you go with?

Thanks guys. i tried the skateboard tape and found it too aggressive last time i tried them. I wasn't sure if they offered them in different grits.
The Guncraft industries MSH and the VZ grips actually add a lot of gripping surface, i hadn't noticed if the gun shifted on me during an IDPA match.

Maybe in the future i'll have serrations done.

The most recent work done to the firearm was an install of 10-8 rear sights and heinie tritium front, as well as a Clark match bushing and an entire refinish in black oxide.

All the other work done to the GI was by me.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words.

Found some more to contribute.

Unfortunately some are gone now, can't afford to keep them all I'm affraid.

And last but not least my favorite that is in the safe or on my side for keeps... Nevermind the queer posing with gear thing. I took it when I still worked hard for a living and I am proud of that time so it went in the scrapbook.
