FA is pretty efficient, don't know about turnaround time. Their stuff isn't cheap, but very well done. And, as I noted, their CS is excellent.

They do know their stuff. Give them a call.

The gun you describe is super nice. I like the octagonal barrel and 4 1/2" is a great carry length, very handy. DF


Here's my 4 1/4" Oct Bbld FA97 in .45 Colt. I lucked out and got it used -- I've put in excess of 25,000 rnds thru it. Perfect size for me and can be loaded from mild to wild.
