2) will the tactical 2011 be available in 9mm as well as 45 (if so I will need 2).


Thank you.

Please do let us know how for Ford's guns turnout.

The Rock stamping is not all that deep and can easily taken down.

Take a look closely at my MS bobtail and you will see that the Rock Island stamp is mostly gone and all that really remains is the "Rock Island"

I think that the new rail gun will come only in 45.

Fine with me. I'm torn between saving money on the RIA rail gun and ordering a full rail TRP. Either way I want the full rail.

Mike, if you go hard Chrome let me know how it comes out. I'm saving to get my frame Hard-Chromed.
