They sold out in minutes. I was sorely tempted to pick one up. Once I finally convinced myself to grab one at that price they were sold out. My brain knew it would happen, my heart wishes it didn't happen, and my wallet is content.
A couple of decades ago, I bought an Argentine HP, removed the grip safety, installed a "no-bite" hammer, did a trigger job, installed good adjustable sights and had it hard-chromed.
It's super-accurate and totally reliable. I don't shoot it much, which is a shame.

I think I'd prefer the ruined one.Your pistol, your right to do anything you want...I know...but you ruined a neat, historical Argentine police contract pistol. Shame.
