$600 bitch.

since this years seth vicious can be found for around $400 now, i don't think $275 is a bad offer at all.

it's a little softer. i had some chatter in my origional 179 pistols, but with the added length that shouldn't be to much of a problem.

i had p12s. took a slight amount of bending with the wide brake, but keep in mind wide brakes are near IMPOSSIBLE to find now for the turntable heels.

salomons would work well. preferably a s916, with the 100mm brake.

4frnt deadboltss would be a good choice. very reliable and fairly light binding with standard wide brakes.
