That's good news, they sure offer alot of bang for the buck!

I love STI, they are my home town gun makers. I hope you straighten every thing out.

Are the EAA's doing well these days, the match was going to be my next pistol but it looks I'll have to hold off a bit.

The slide looks a bit shinier than the frame. If I snag the 1066 I may have smith restore one of them for me. I wonder what that would set me back.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Will a proper/professional bead blasting get it back to factory looking?  Will bead blasting hurt it at all from a collectors standpoint?  I doubt this will be anything other than a shooter but I like my guns looking good as well.

Thanks guys, its a little rougher than it looks in the pictures.  I think I got a deal at $385 out the door.  One down side is it came with only one magazine.  The LGS also has a rough looking 1066 I'm going back to take another look at next week.

I finally picked up a 10mm.  I was debating between the Glock 20 and the EAA Match when I came across this Smith and Wesson 1086 yesterday at the LGS.  A police trade in and she needs some TLC on the outside but looks like very low round count on the inside.

I'm on the hunt for new grips and sights if they are out there.  Hopefully I'll get some range time this weekend.
