I agree somewhat with dsk..
I wanted a stainless 1911 to carry when I'm on my sportboat, but the longer I looked at the horrible bead blasted finish on the slide, the more it looked like a rough finished raw metal slide that never completed the manufacturing process. I guess some don't mind that raw look, but I had a desire to refine my stainless 1911's to a more classy look. But I sure liked the price of the ORM Stainless.
Thanks DHart for the compliment, That pistol is so beautiful, it's just a pleasure to hold and shoot. I thought about selling it once.... for about 2 seconds, then that "thought" passed away.
