Don't know why they sold it, but I got it for less than a new or used GI Champion was going to be. Other people's custom guns are indeed a great deal.

I ended up shipping my P-13 to Springfield Armory. Their custom shop installed a Caspian 6" slide and match barrel. It is a big heavy sumbitch that makes 2 inch groups at 50 yards. Lucky for me that I would never consider selling it because I truly could never recoup the money I've got in it. Always wanted a hi-cap .45 longslide.

It has been "sporterized" in the best meaning of that word. The rear sight ears have been milled off, the front sight has been replaced by a gold bead on a ramped barrel-band, the rear sight is a Millet micrometer adjustable peep, the trigger is like glass, and it's all beautifully bedded in a gorgeous (but utilitarian) piece of walnut. And it shoots like a house afire. I bought it for $200. I think the rear sight is worth that by itself. I have a 1917 Enfield that someone spent a lot of time and loving care on.
