Sounds like you got a great deal on a fine pistol! Enjoy the first of many.

I say you did well. I bought the same some 25+ years ago for a similar price new. I have had it throated, trigger work, and the ejection port relieved. I did have some combat sights on it also. It is truelly a gun to keep.
