  I just put a down payment on one of these beauties. It's the Parkerized GI 3" model. I'm so excited. Can't wait for it to come in. I will post my review after I get it and am able to put a few rounds through it.

  Perhaps it would be best to offer specifics as to which subcompact you are referring to? I assume it is not the XD?

  I think this is one of the best looking sub compacts out there. How would you compare this pistol to something like a Kimber Ultra. I'm in the market for one and would like to learn from others experience.
