Not only that, but they go over every shelf gun they send out to make sure things are tip-top. Definitely the right place to order from.
Ive got a CZ im selling/trading. Its not on the HK level, but a good shooter!

Yep that's what they told me. Made me even happier I chose them. I may call them this morning and add a fiber optic front site on it.

Bill decided to stop building guns fairly recently, but I believe they'll still do quite a bit of work on them. Front sights no problem!
I will say this for most 1911's out there-- I'm not a fan of the gripping surface that their (typically) laminate panels provide. VZ makes my favorite grips, by far.
I love VZ grips. I had the Operators II on my SA. Super grippy and comfortable. The G10 grips on my Wilson are amazing too.

Guess there's really not a reason to post on this thread anymore but perhaps I just wanted to be last.
I did wind up calling them this morning and had them add the red fiber optic front site.
I cant wait to get to shoot it!!!!!
Haha. Probably picking it up today

Let us (me, since I suggested it first) know how you like it. I'm kinda invested now.
Probably wont get it from Jason till Monday or Tuesday
Just ordered a set of vz operators II for it. Had them on my SA Loaded before and loved them. They are very grippy.

Why a 229? For a range toy, the longer 226 would be better, wouldn't it? Maybe even one of the 226-X5's....
But if that or the HK's don't fit in your budget, don't forget about Beretta's. They can be found with no "silly levers" also.
+1 on this I was asking myself the same question as to why a 229 you said you weren't looking for a "compact" and that is,in my opinion you can't go wrong with either the p30 or the 226 I've had both and they are equally good both with their strengths and weaknesses.
...............And I obviously didnt finish reading the post because I would've noticed that you bought an Sti good job I dont think you'll be disappointed with it .

Got the STI today. Going to test it out tomorrow or Thursday. So far it feels and operates amazing. The slide feels like its on ball bearings. Trigger is very crisp and light and reset is nice. Not as nice as my Wilsons trigger, but I am not trying to compare the two. The sights are great. Fiber optic front is amazing and very easy to see. Pics below dont do the sights justice. Gun is super tight too. No wiggle at all with the frame. When you shake it there is no sound from anywhere on the gun. Getting my VZ grips in the next couple days. Very happy with it so far.

Pretty, you'll have to post some pics when you get it spec'd out with your gear.
