John,
It looks mint! Congratulations! Are you going to have custom work done to it? You know, that is what I have in mind for Pup #2, but haven't decided about exactly what to do, or who will do it. I am leaning heavily toward Cogan, as they did Corey's R9, which he put up a picture of a few months back.
That pretty much describes what I want done: silver frame, slick up the slide, maybe soften the edges (but not sure about that) and checker the grip frame, front and back, and the front of the trigger guard, as I'm one of those shooters. I was all ready to do it, when R293 came into my life. Now, it must wait a while. But worth it.
