Thanks Guys!
Some really good info on in this thread about alloy pistols, ramps, and mags.

The information allows me to be comfortable in considering an alloy pistol without a ramped barrel.

I was in the LGS a few weeks ago and held a Ed Brown Bobtail. It was sweet, and so was looking for a bobtail a tad more affordable for my budget. Several of the ones I have seen have the LW Alloy frame and gave me pause.

I don't need it for carry, weight is not an issue, it's mostly to be a "fun" gun, just for lookin at, holdin, and shootin.

I had considered taking a Ruger CMD and chopping it off. But I would have about as much in that as a Sig Carry Nightmare(the two tone-controls on it really bother me), or a S&WSC E. So......the quest continues.

Thanks again for the info.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
