Thanks for the replies. Nope, it's a blued pistol and yep, I bought it. So far, I'm very pleased. It makes a great carry gun. The origional owner was having problems with the .45's recoil due to medical problems, so he usually shot his 9mm pistols. As a result, the pistol has seen very little use. In fact, my dealer told me he doubted if it had a whole box through it and I know I can trust his judgement.
