Under the grips look how’d I’d expect looking at the rest...

Here is where I am at now. I am very happy with it now. It shoots good and has lost some of the "custom look".

Much better...nice job

[ojisan]

Looking good!
Well worth the effort.

Accu rails were the hot mod for a few years. People were paying good money for them. Knew lots of people that had it done. The improvement in the slide/frame fit was impressive. It was a fad of sorts that as I remember it, lasted a few years. There were a few stories here and there of binding problems. I suspect mostly from guys that thought it was a good idea to remove and clean under them. One friend had one get loose and bind. He sent it back and had no further issues.

I don't think they are horrible, but I would generally avoid them due to the fact it's a proprietary system. I'd certainly be unhappy to be surprised by it upon receiving the gun. It's something that the seller should disclose upfront or at least provide evidence of in a good picture.

Better in blue. But I like the older double diamond grips

I already did. 1966.

And I questioned the frame since the Colt markings are not there, but it does have a Vp roll mark on the left trigger guard so I am guessing it is a Colt frame, albeit one that has seen better days.

Yes,the VP(inside the triangle)is there,although faint. Definitely a Colt frame.
