Got this quite early this year - but strangely after taking pictures I forgot to post it up here but anyway...
During the production the gunsmith told me beforehand the colour of the slide & the frame will be different as to replicate the real steel (slide out of steel while frame out of aluminium/alloy)...OK
The Hogue wood grips - only 2 pairs left at the shop so the boss decided to have a pair on my gun generously without additional cost (thanks!)...or maybe because the boxes were already covered in dust due to the price (almost HKD $1000)...
This time they got the font right...another thanks for the "stainless" stamped under the muzzle (special request).
The barrel...again half-blocked so it looks like the restrictor for movie guns...
I think I've to ask them again for the mag - before they made their own they gave me the Marushin one for the time being...
Finally a shot of my first and last Hong Kong made dummy guns (at the moment)...

"Stainless" is a nice touch :-) This model looks good, especially with these grips. Silver metal goes well with wood here.

Unfortunately you don't really like the look of larger Berettas Smootik - I'm simply obsessed...
Forgot to mention above - this time the hammer can be half-cocked like the real steel...downside: the surface of the frame gets quite rough and it attract stains...

really nice looking model Jim puts denix to shame thats for sure, i like the chrome/silver models but most plastic models just dont pull it off very well.

Thanks ..."stainless" also stamped on top of the chamber part of the barrel as in the real steel...
Photos can really do the trick - the frame looks very white and clean...
