I guess I got tired of looking for something like this and not finding one for the right price or close enough proximity so I would not spend 5 or 6 hours on the road. What I did was, to just go out a purchased a new one. I have been wanting to try the RIA so here it is. I have Springer's and have great luck with them and I have been hearing good things about RIA 1911's and wanted a commander size for a carry instead of my M&P Shield. I don't really know about the writing on the slide but the price was right.
