Too bad your not in Texas, I've built way more than I can shoot.

yeah but CZs and Sigs with decockers, that pistol is ready to roll out of the holster with no extra step. I am a big fan of DA/SA with decocker, and I suppose a Glock is similar because you have to pull the trigger to complete charging the striker. I really dislike manual safeties on handguns.

I really like the DA/SS guns. Especially the S&W 59. But I've shot the 1911 more. I handled a Glock once, couldn't bring myself to shoot it. Made my skin crawl. My Star 30M was the first "Wondernine", I love the way it shoots but it's too heavy to carry outside of combat. I got a new JM4 holster for my TT-33 and I've been carrying it for the past couple of weeks. I like it enough that I'm getting some new grips for it.

About how much did you spend?

The most expensive one probably cost me around $650. Ruger lower, custom trigger and walnut furniture. The cheapest probably cost about $400. That's not counting optics or magazines.
