No Ed it doesn't have a straight grip (wish it did) and I wish the engraving was a little sharper but hey, "It is what it is".
Bill I plan on asking Mark about this gun. The guy I bought it from got it as a gift from his wife (ex) about 10 years ago at a gun shop. The gentleman brought it in for a trade on a 22 for his grandson (wonder if they went even up or he had to pay some cash for that 22
) and said that it was his grandfathers gun and he had special ordered it. The person I bought it from thought the special order was for the drop in the stock and I told him i thought it was more then likely it was for the length of the barrels. Eric
