Ok, can you post some pic's of your pistol as it is now? Preferably assembled and field-stripped so we can see the barrel/bushing/guide rod, etc.

Sure I'll post some pictures in a few days, I'm visiting family for the holidays and I don't have it with me, when I get back home I'll post.

Also, how much are you looking to spend?

I'd say I'm willing to spend $300-500 I have no problem spending on quality parts for my firearms.

When you put the slide on the frame without a barrel, how wobbly is it?

I'd have to double check when I get home but if memory serves me its pretty solid. I would say it is considerably less wobbly than a Glock.

What kind of sights do you currently have?

I have the sights that came with the gun, they are black sights with white dots on the rear grove sight and a white dot on the front post sight. They are non-adjustable. I would like to add adjustable sights as well to the gun.

Is your stock trigger fairly smooth, and does it have a short reset, or is it crappy?

I think the trigger is OK but I've only really ever shot stock triggers so I'm not sure if I can improve upon it with a new trigger. I'll have to go shooting with it and try to pay attention to the trigger function.

If you field strip the pistol and then place a bullet under the extractor, does it fall out on it's own, just barely stay put, or did you really have to wedge it in?

I'll get back to you on this

Do you like fancy-looking pistols, match-style pistols, or just the most functionality you can get for your dollar?

For this I'm going for a match style look but I'm not just about cosmetics I also want functionality and upgrades that will legitimately improve my accuracy.

Oh, and is your current pistol 100% reliable as it is, or will it need work just to make it function properly?

100% reliable, I love it. I bought it brand new last year.

Thanks for all the help Slims and Cromspin. I was also wondering about the bull barrel. If you don't need the bushing how does the recoil spring stay in place? The bushing goes around the barrel and holds back the metal cylinder that contains the recoil spring.
