I don't know if I want it pimped as much as I get tired of seeing all the brushed stainless/brown or blued/brown everywhere.

Wilson and Les Baer are really nice, but way out of my price range. I've shot some Kimbers, talked with Kimber owners and the bggest issue is when they want to the external extractor for a while. I would love to find one from the original company and factory but they tend to command a pretty hefty price as well.

I will check into the S&W model. Haven't had but one issue with their guns and they took care of that pretty well for me. (Bent firing pin on a revolver and they replaced just about all the moving parts when they had it.) I wanted to buy the M&P but just didn't enjoy shooting it as much.
