I've been going back and forth about whether or not to post on this thread. Looks like I've finally gotten off the fence...

In addition to the IPSC commemorative scroll, there's a DVC prefix to the serial # that I thought was a nice touch.

Bought back in December, 2006 at the Blaine, MN Gander Mt. Just one mag, some finish wear on the blued parts, wearing one of the grip mount optics setups and a whopping $299 on the tag. Tried it for a while with a red dot and decided to just go with the irons, installed wood grips (which uncovered damage done by the grip mount to the frame's finish ["Oh, SNAP!"] and involved replacing a couple of pins where there'd been through-screws to help hold the grip mount): turns out the pins like to start walking out of the frame when it's fired much. Also had a lot of failure to feed issues early on, but that's improved over time. Mag break-in issues, most likely.

ON the plus side, it has a decent trigger and shoots pretty nicely.
