Update:

4.25"Bull barrel, lowered/flared ejection port, Novak type combat sights, skeletonized hammer, ambi safety, beavertail grip safety, and skeletonized trigger with overtravel and light pull.

All this, new in the box for $470!

High- Standard combat Crusader. How does it shoot? Out of the box, my first 3 round group at 18 yds was withhin an inch. Actually, the first and third round went through the same hole (almost). I am very satisfied with the weight, look and feel of this weapon. If anyone else has one, let me know if you concur. I haven't found anyone else on any of the other boards that have bought this samepistol with all the goodies from the factory.

I have a Springfield G.I. Champion, 4" barrel, found it used at a local gunshop for $500. It even had nite sites on it already. Sorry, not for sale, but an idea of what you might find out there. BTW, it was hardly even used, it is still breaking in. Good Luck in your search.
