      You can ship that anywhere, so no need to think about locally. This guy has had good prices and good work liked by many. http://ardengun.com/prices.html If you aren't wedded to blue, but could entertain nickel or a very durable hard chroming (it is not bright), Ron Mahovsky in PA cannot be...
