This morning at Home Depot I ran into a friend. We briefly talked about the projects we were doing and the talk then turned to guns of course. I happened to mention that two handguns I regret getting rid of were the 4" GP-100 and the Springfield Mil-Spec I had customized at the SA Custom Shop, to include a trigger job by Dave Williams. I said I could really kick myself in the ass for that.
I finished my work at home and headed to my favorite gun shop. There in the case right up front on the top shelf was Springfield. I asked to see it. I flipped it over to see the serial#. Sure as ****, it was it. As the guy went to tell me about it I cut him off and explained in detail what was done; 10-8 rear sight ad trigger, properly fittedd beavertail, SA Swenson style thumb safety, NM bushing and the oh so sweet trigger work. He asked how I knew. I told it was mine and I had traded it foolishly. He couldn't believe I would do something like that. Another salesman overheard me give the details but didn't hear I was the one who had it done. He then looked at me asked me if I was buying it, and I said "Hell Yeah!" He was a little bummed becasue he was going to lay it away when the shop closed. It feels good to have it back home.
