I won't really know until I get it in my hands. There appeared to be numerous scratches in the photo, but I can't really tell if they are just surface scratches or if some are deeper. I don't have any experience with Duracoat - is it relatively durable?
I really didn't need another Ruger auto, but this thing looked pretty sad and lonely out there on the auction with no bidders. I emailed a shop that's only about 20 miles from me. They do Duracoat and they priced it at $225.00 for a 2 tone, stainless/black finish. Lord have mercy! I might as well hold out for a NIB stainless one. I know there are still a few around. I'm either going to have to do this myself, or just do as RNettles suggested had been done to it before - that is, throw it under the truck seat.
Good buy! Mine has the plum colored slide also, but it has quite a few scratches. I did find a KP93D NIB on Auction Arms. I may sell my P93 or trade it for something. It sure does shoot good though. It has the smoothest action of all my P-Series
I have shot it and it shoots quite well. It shoots about an inch to an inch and a half right, but that's easy to fix. I've just been too lazy to get out the allen wrenches, punch and hammer. I think it's been shot quite a bit, because the action is very smooth, almost like it's on ball bearings. It also has the best single and double action trigger pulls of any of my P-Series. It is a little ugly though - quite a few scratches. I still haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or sell it. If I decide to sell it, I'll give you first crack at it. I paid $210 plus a little for shipping and the FFL transfer. In all, I think I have $240 in it. Not bad considering how well it shoots.
