[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 2843221, member: 1055"] Bought this pistol about a year ago, cheap, abused 422, that had been in a fire. No damage to the frame, although the grips were a little toasted. The seller appropriately named it the "Crispy Critter". I tore it down, internally it was fine although I did clean up the internals a bit. I then went about making some subtle changes to the frame. I cut off the hump on the trigger guard, fit the pistol to my hand better by under cutting the trigger guard, and raising the "beaver tail" just a little. I also did a little milling on the muzzle, similar to the cuts on the 4.5" 622VR. Then I blasted the entire pistol and slide.
