No offense taken, John. I know that the BSS beavertail is ugly as sin. I also know that one can be made that isn't. The Fox I referenced earlier in this thread has just such an one.







The important thing to me, when designing a semi-beavertail, is to have the profile view look like the bottom of the f/e continues the line that the bottom of the receiver has established, and when viewed from the bottom, it is not excessively wide (like a beaver's tail laugh ).
