My grail gun. That is an excellent example and I'm very happy you were able to secure one. Wonderful!

Merry Christmas!

Congrats on acquiring that beautiful pistol.

I just have to ask, if you have read the thread regarding nickel plating Sig frames? How can you be sure the frame is not weakened/compromised by the plating?

I've been yearning for one for quite a while. That is a keeper.

Don’t you believe it, life’s too short not to get the enjoyment from shooting that beauty. Not long ago, I bought a NIB SIG P210-6 and a NIB H&K P7M8 and was advised by a number of people not to shoot them and make them safe queens. Nope, not gonna’ happen! I’ve been shooting them both from time to time and lovin’ it. Of course, I handle them with kid gloves and clean them carefully so they still appear LNIB, but they definitely get shot.

Congrats! Thing of beauty. One of my favorite SIG nickels. I sold my precious (KA P228) to a famous SIG Forum member last year. I know it has a good home
