congrats DB2!...I love my GI and can only imagine the tac is even better. I love whatever tool it is you use to wipe out the serial# in your pics....in the first pic, I thought I saw Arabic stampings haha.

For as rediculously cheap my GI was....I have always been impressed with its fit and quality. Cant wait to hear how she shoots!

BTW...it looks like the tacs have stainless barrels? Very nice

Congrats. My GI was flawless. My 9mm Tactical not so much, even after a trip back to Nevada.
