What's it run for the mods?

I purchased the safety for $25 I think. The grips were $40. I sent the gun off to a Smith in Texas, He Coated it with return shipping for $175. He fitted the safety and replaced the MSH no charge. I had my choice of Arched or flat MSH, never fired an Arched before, figured I give it a try.
Now all I have to do is Wait for Armscor to call me when the new barrels come in and I should be all set.
Very nice looking job.
I love the blacked out look and the missing bill board. This is exactly what I would do first thing if I purchased one.
That's sweet :P
Sharp looker.
Very nice!
Beautiful gun :D How did you suppress/remove/mill those gigantic billboard roll-marks?
I am pretty sure the roll marks are still there. Just with the cerakote they don't show up in the picture.

Correct
I've had a couple of the RIA guns in 45, the rollmarks were the wimpiest, faintest things I'd ever seen. It wouldn't take much to fill one in!
My G20 and my 2 RIA 10mm's are still competing as which one can fling the brass farthest away from me. No clear winner yet :)

What Recoil spring are you running in the RIA? I have a 22lb and the brass travels about 7-8 feet.
