I have three. The one above, a Compact that's my daily CCW beater, and this one that I customized (yes, shameless showing off). It started out as a GI model too, I turned it into a "clone" of their Tactical model. Cost a lot of money and a bunch of work. Trust me, just buy a Tactical to begin with and have it refinished if you wish.

I installed the Tactical parts myself, including modifying the frame and fitting the beavertail, also smoothed the grooves off the trigger face, then I had it blued at a local gunsmith's. Novak's installed the sights. It's a great shooter.
