The CZickness IV

yeah, especially with that stippling job.
I would consider that as damage - not an improvement.
Should have just used grip tape or something.

the grips & springs are a nice feature and do add something, but yeah it's a little much.
Now that I have a fully Cajunized/Wizardized gun I just look at this gun as a "starter kit"

I would normally agree, as I hate grip stippling, but that front strap stippling doesn't look bad and I think I would prefer that over leaving it smooth, or grooved.

Even with the upgrades and grips?

Yep, IMO that is a $450 gun at best.

Considering you can buy a new 75b Omega and VZ grips cheaper, yeah, that gun is overpriced.

I don't mind the price, but the stippling job kills it for me.

Where are you seeing that? Just curious. Gun prices have risen in the last couple of months. I used to see 75B Omegas for $450 - $475, but now the lowest price I'm seeing is ~$500 and VZ Grips are $75.

Looks like a lot of places are out of stock right now and places with stock are gouging price a bit. They were $400-$450 last time I was looking. I don't buy when prices are high, and haven't been keeping track.

I got my Omega maybe a year ago for $475 at Sportsman's Guide, and that's been about the lowest I've seen them until lately. Now that it's discontinued, the price seems to have gone up for the ones that are left.

That plus prices rising in general. I think we can thank Emperor Obummer

I guess I didn't consider the price of the grips. To me that is a negligible amount.

Lanbos had them for $400 + shipping earlier this year. TSS had them for $440 with free shipping. Those are the ones I remember when I was sorta kinda looking. Would have had to add on a $15 transfer fee from USDS.

Oh well. Looks like price is about $500 if you can find them in stock right now. Good thing a 75b is WAY down on my list at this point. I've still got to finish aftermarketing the guns I have, get a TS, SBR, 1911, and 586 before I start looking for a 75b.

Yep, glad I already have a 75B and am not really looking for anything else at this point...

Yep, the harder he pushes his agenda, the more the people see through the BS and buy more guns...

I had a package arrive today. EGW parts for the Champion. I was very happy as I could start on the fit up with that project.
I opened the box and something was not there. Thumb safety. All the other bits were in the box. I reviewed my order and yup......I am a dumb-ass.
These pieces (Except the ignition control group) are stainless mainly for "Bling" effect. Yes, I have succumbed to the bling thing.

Yes it is. I also like the opposite.

That's what attracted me to the Sig Nightmare. That and the round butt.
