And don't forget grips.
There ya go.
I've had one for about a year or two and it's great. Like others in this thread have said, it's picky about ammo, and the only stuff it gets now is CCI, or maybe Federal if that's all I have.
I've also since added these grips as well as this upgrade kit and it's one of my favourite guns now.
This would be gorgeus with the surfaces of the slide serations polished and this or VZs.
Holy crap, just looked at Pachmayr grips... these things are beautiful:

That is something I definitely know I need to change. The current grips trap sweat between my hand and the grip and really amplify my lack of skill with the gun. I prefer, aesthetically, something with a natural wood finish yet I would like the finger grooves. These are something I've considered but I've heard that they fall apart pretty quick despite the high rating.
If changing the finish of the gun is just a bad idea then I've not a problem leaving it the way it is; I just wanted to know if it's feasible or if nickel or stainless steel finish is something which must be on the gun when purchased. I guess I just want to maximize the fit of the gun to my hand and know if there is anything that you might recommend as a must do alteration for the longevity of the gun?
