Jim,
I'm with you, I never warmed up to the looks or fit/finish of the Gold Label. The concept was a good one, but the beltsander finishing and the stainless frame, baby poop brown stain all left me thinking I'd rather have many other guns.

I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to do that roundy beltsander process on the Gold's frame. The whole thing about sxs guns is their craftsmanship. If they don't have that, we may as well shoot a o/u.
