Re: Ok Guys, you have up to $2000 to spend,

A few years ago it would be a 1911 in 45. Since shooting these modern gizmo's I've changed my thinking to a meat and potatos S&W M&P or a Glock 9. These guns eat up everything without a hitch as do my Model A Uzis......everything in 9mm. Keep is simple.---6 I'm also a fan of the 9mm but not...

Yes whoever re-barreled it made the grip as well, I suspect if the shoulder stock was still present they would have wanted a lot of money for it.
I have on offer now to yank the barrel, figure out the caliber, buff it, and blue it for $125, half that if I could get it off.
