Gees, sounds like I should've waited. Sounds like the recent ones are quite nice! Maybe it's because these are relatively newer ones that were replaced by the Glocks without being used much.

My AIM High Power was quite dinged up and I had to replace the extractor as well (broke after 100 rounds). Mine was made in the last year of Mark II production according to the serial number.

BTW, mine has a strange blue-green color coating on the hand guard. It's like a greenish marble. Very shiny. Does anyone know what it might be?
