chromed really what a waste

"Expertly" chromed halved it's price if it had just kept its original finish. $1595 is a great deal to pay for a shooter of expensive ammo.

chromed ? use as a purdy hood ornament on your vintage car.

As the bumper sticker states: "Excrement eventuates".

Usually I'm the one that is ALWAYS AGAINST ruining these gorgeous guns, but Thank God this time I'm glad to see that I'm in good company.

What no pictures? Or link? Ed you could probably put those imitation stag grips on it you like so much and it would make a nice lamp for your living room eh?

If the markings are sharp, as stated, then the pistol might not have been buffed to death. In that case, the chrome can be reversed. It might be worth it for this pistol if the price was right.
