Hey all,

Call their customer service number. You will get a real person and they are really helpful. Give then the serial number and they can tell you all about your pistol.

It's a nice carry piece. I had a problem with mine feeding hollow points, but had my gunsmith (father-in-law) polish the feed ramp. No problems after that.
I had him add an Ed Brown extended beaver tail, an Ed Brown extended safety, and new sear and trigger parts. I have been thinking about doing a concealed carry smoothing on it and maybe a Cerakote paint job.

The only weird thing that I noticed with it, is if you have a certain grip the case from the last round wacks you in the forehead!

Enjoy!
