My first gun was a beat up 1991A1 a few years back which I (foolishly?) sold to finance German plastic. Later I got a Kimber ProCarry from a GT member. Also sold. I have lusted after the looks of the XSE since I first read about it in an old issue of "American Rifleman"; must have been around 1995 or so.
Anyway, I've been trying to sell a couple guns online for over a month now without luck. My local dealer had three of the XSEs; one Government and two Commanders. Unfortunately, neither of the latter had a lightweight frame. So I traded my two pistols plus $200 for the Colt Commander, which is exactly what I expected and wanted out of the deal. He hemmed and hawed, but he was still made money on the deal and I didn't get shafted to terribly.
I swear, it's a pretty gun. I think I will need to obtain some Novak 3-dots for it. :)
