I carried this pistol every day for one of three Vietnam tours, then for two tours in Thailand, and 12 years in the Philippines. It never let me down.
When I got back to the US I had Wayne Novak give it a trigger job, Novak LoMount Carry rear sight and movable front sight, and install Spegel Grips. I didn't have the heart to have it reblued. Those worn spots are like decorations. Since then I have taken seven two-day courses with it, and fired more than 5,000 rounds. It has never failed to feed, or to fire. Now, I treasure it too much to carry, not wanting to take the chance of losing it if I have to use it in the US. For now, its a Glock for daily carry.

It actually doesn't look bad at all considering the climates in which it's been carried. I was expecting to see a gun without much finish at all considering the places you've cited.

Hello, RKO. Thanks for letting us see your good companion as it is today. There's not one thing "wrong" with honorable "battle scars"; to me, they show character.

Best.
