Looks sharp.

Here's my Springfield after the 15 minute spent filling out paperwork, getting it called in, and paying the guy... Name:  100_1811.jpg

Nice, looks like their version of the Officers model. Might have some hiccups until you get her broken in, even Colt's version was that way.

Wow, very nice! I went to the dealer I bought mine from at lunch today with a long time friend of mine I work with to sell and LEGALLY transfer ownership of my old S&W DA.45 Revolver to. He has his CCW and still had to pay 35 bucks for yet ANOTHER background check AND wait ten days for a pistol from a friend that has a CCW as well Sorry for the rant but some of these gun laws are just plain stupid and all about filling the Gov't pockets.....and they want more laws?

Thanks. Its a basic GI model except in stainless. no trigger job, no accurizing. for such a long gun, its comfortable to carry. I typically only carry in the winter, otherwise, its my SA XD .40.

I have a Rock in .38 Super. It's plain and I did add Raasco grips to dress it up a little. Goes bang each and every time.

Simple solution: Move to Texas, we get enough likeminded people and we shall rule the USA….or just simply not be part of it any more. Either way it’s not that hard to purchase a pistol here (with a CCW of course)

bad advice...

If you get enough of them moving to texas, then they might start pushing texas to become like california.... I know I would hate to see that happen.

You boys be nice now Redding (Shasta County) has been called by the Cali liberal media the "Black Sheep" of the state and we are proud of it We vote conservative everytime only to be defeated time and time again We buy more guns per capita in the state, we hunt, fish and have mountains with snow and no darn palm trees. We actually USE our trucks and don't shine our huge tires for a 4x4 trip to the mall. I may live in Cali but Redding is more like..... Calizona with pine trees
