Went to the first gun show I've been to in over a year today, not necessarily looking for anything in particular. There sat a lonely, abused T-100 on a guys table. It has actual finish wear (!), wears slim-line aluminum grips, came with one magazine and nothing else. I noted the safety was missing the ball detent but I knew this was an easily available part. I asked how much? He said 300. He wanted it gone, he said. Bought it for a girlfriend who wasn't a girlfriend anymore (he didn't sound too sad about that, actually). I noted the malfunctioning safety and proposed $250, and we settled at $275. Out it went with me. T-100's being sold out everywhere these days, and used ones going for over $400 on the auction sites right now, I thought I did OK.
Interestingly, the front of the grips were profiled down into a smooth transition to the frame which gives it a very nice feel at the front.
No pics yet, as I suspect this gun may have had a 1000 rounds (possibly more) through her without cleaning. It's utterly filthy, and the grips need touching up, and of course the safety detent is missing. It's so dirty it was hard to field strip.
This is one of the "transitional" frames with the "Shark" flat base triggerguard like the Jericho but marked T-100.
Now for some gunscrubber, black paint for the grips and a trip to CGW for a pair of safety lever detent bearings. And maybe Greg Cote for some compact mags. I've got full size mags that will work of course but this looks like a nice carry gun once she's fitted up and functioning to my satisfaction.
