While I carry a 1911, here's my bedside gun...

^^^ What an ending!

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Found it...

I did just find the photo of the cutaway. Go to Challis.com then click on "who we are" arrow to the right a couple times.

Every time I order more normally they include a cutaway photo I mentioned. I have to admit the first set I tried I did it wrong also! Guarantee you will love them, but shipping can get expensive ordering one set at a time (that could be mailed for the cost of a first class stamp). So I'd suggest...

While they fit on some pistols and might be functional, they really look like a cheap added-on piece. I even saw a guy shooting with a set and one side popped out, a potential laceration issue. If you need front traction but don't want the expense of checkering, I'd recommend a piece of...

If things ever get back to normal I hope everyone remembers who took advantage of the shortage and became gougers themselves. Manufacturing costs have not increased.
