So I read that blog post years ago (10 I think), I saw a browning bda in 9mm (if you don’t know, it was actually made by sig, and the frame was cerakoted gray, it looked good and the shop that had it didn’t have it long, but because it was coated there was no way of knowing if it was coated to look good, or if the previous owner read Bruce’s blog an realized no one would buy it if they saw the gold showing on the rails…so I passed!Thanks. Saw that when I was surfing today, but didn't have time to read it. I have it bookmarked.
The second I passed on was a nickel (factory nickel!) plated 228, with night sights made in 91 if I remember correctly, I asked if I could field strip it, he said “only if you can put it back together!” (It was at a pawn shop) as I slid the slide off, I saw gold on the rails, so I reassembled it and said thanks but I’ll pass!
I purchased my German 226 before I read the blog, but luckily for me, the rails are perfect!
