Other than ambi safeties and night sights, I haven't seen any need to change anything. <br /><br />And if I can see a deer-sized target at 50 meters, it's in the freezer.Retired Spookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162727356116384883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-80498323705583721702013-05-04T18:06:58.493+01:002013-05-04T18:06:58.493+01:00The only external modification to my Officer's...The only external modification to my Officer's Model is an extended slide release.<br />I did install a full length guide rod only because the recoil plug is fragile, prone to breakage and even worse, getting hard to find.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-26321496437568175372013-05-04T17:22:20.092+01:002013-05-04T17:22:20.092+01:00I hate all the rails, bells and whistles put on gu...I hate all the rails, bells and whistles put on guns these days. Optics on handguns?? No. Anyway, the added junk seems to look cumbersome and breaks up the sleek and deadly outline of the weapon. Of course, I'm old enough to prefer guns made of steel and wood to today's alloys and plastic.TomR,armed in Texasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-39268833934212834252013-05-04T16:57:16.335+01:002013-05-04T16:57:16.335+01:00Well said, well said.
