Or just go get a Rock Island for $400. If you think you want to swap some parts out - extended beaver tail, better sights, etc - get the RIA Tactical model.

I'm NOT recommending doing a "bubba job" on a nice gun, I'm talking about adopting a mixmaster gun that's no longer original. You'll learn a lot and end up with a gun you're proud to own and shoot!
