Careful. Them things are addicting.

I'm not a fan of the arched mainspring housing, but that's a nice looking GI model you have there.

One of my favorites as well. Great shooting, easy to maintain, and I love the recoil. A nice firm push rather than the sharp snap of a Glock or the twist of a revolver. The weight really helps the recoil as well.
The blued steel and rosewood grips are a perfect classic look to top it all off. I love stainless in many guns, but this is one I have to have blueing.
