Go back and read posts that claim superirity of NID then ask who stirs the pot. That engraved gun pix looks very nice but proves nothing about design longevty which is the subject of this posting. Plenty of engraved guns out there that look nice. The Data I have is 3 NID's seen on clay shooting fields and all 3 were loose. Thanks somebody for downgrading my star rating. Truth hurts doesn't it?
