Very nice. Not being mechanically or artistically inclined, all I usually do is replace the grips. Here are my two RIAs.NORMSUTTON wrote:torpeau

Norm,
I was starting to worry but good to see you finally got it. Like how you add the gold lettering, nice touch.
torpeau,
Your RIA Tactical & Compact are beauties, and I really like those grips. What wood is that?

Norm, very nice job, I wish I had the artistic talent you do. If you were to hand me a can of gold spray paint the results would look like a 1st. grade finger painting.
Very very nice job,
