Since modding to take the nifty 856 grip...
It looked a bit over balanced and didn't fit my 856 holster. (The RP63 stuck out the bottom and the front sight would catch on the draw.
So....shortened and profiled the barrel to 2 7/16 inches, saving all the markings.
Reprofiled the Ameriglo orange/tritium to face up a bit and catch the light better. Made room in the bottom of the original sight slot for the now smaller foot of the Ameriglo.
Gave the muzzle a recessed 11 degree crown as the factory profile has no crown at all.
