This is a Christmas 2000 gift
from my wife. I found it while waiting for her to undergo a long surgery.
I told her about it next day while taking care of her. She actually said
'Why don't you go buy it, Honey?'.
You'll never have to tell me twice to buy a gun!

Note
the place where the missing stripper guides once where, and a screw placed
in the hole.
