Daryl, heavier is definetly better for a steady hold. I haven't been to a rendezvous in many years but Fathers Day weekend I plan on stopping by the Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin rendezvous and taking a look around.

Mike, the 1913 appearance does take some time to get used to. It helps to think of it as being stocked in "silver maple" with "ebony" accents. Once you shoot it you dont care what it looks like!!
