Looks like a Loaded model without front serrations.

They are making more than just 500. It's all about marketing and dealers charging $50-$100 more for a coveted "1 of 500" engraved RO.

They are said to be built with the same oversight as the Trophy Match and the TRP. They just don't have all the extras. I'd like to handle one at some point.

Just picked one up from the Shooters Bench in SW PA, best price I've seen anywhere, $765 OTD. Gun is extremely tight, very similar to my TRP. Will have more thoughts about it after I shoot it, literally bought it an hour ago.

btw there is no difference between the "1 of 500" versions and the regular production models. They just happen to be the first 500 to be built, and they are all "1 of 500", the number is the same for all of them.

Please post a report on how it does.
