Got an IMI in overall pretty good condition but I would like to see about getting a cerakote/other finish and either a rear sight repair (it's slightly dented on one blade and the dot is chipped) or a replacement, but I would need it zeroed since I don't have the ability to zero it where I live. Not as accurate as it came at least. There's some very minor surface rust and a ding or two along the top anti-glare serrations inside the ejection port.

For anyone who's refinished a gun how did you handle dents or dings? Ignore them?

All the aftermarket grips I see don't have a lanyard loop cutout as far as I can tell. Anyone selling IMI grips or is the lanyard loop on surplus models removable?

Title.

Are 17 round CZ and IMI mags compatible and flush fitting in old IWI Jerichos? I'm a bit confused over the inconsistency with how the Jericho is listed as 17 round most of the time but older ones are 16 but in the same listings often listed as 17 rounders. Does it matter or will I run into reliability issues or have the mag stick out all ugly like?

I own something very similar to picrel, with a PMM comp. I have two major complaints, the grip profile is too square and a bad fit for my hand, and Icarus refuses to make anything with a safety notch.

I'm very much considering the Sharps Bros' version since they finally have a safety model but there are two potential issues with it for me.

The serious one is that I can't tell if the profile is more oval (akin to a Taurus G2C which is basically just a fatter Bodyguard 2.0, both of which are perfect for me) or rectangular like the Icarus. Rectangular grips just suck for me.

The more minor issue is I don't like the overbite caused by the grip modules not coming all the way forward underneath the full length or PMM compensated slide. That's more a minor aesthetic gripe but it would be nice if somebody made something with the safety and grip issues addressed that also looked nice instead of derpy.

Do any of you have any suggestions, have experience with the Sharp Bros' grip profile, or know if anyone would do a limited custom run?

I'm pretty partial to the looks of the old 941's with no light rail but I'm on the fence about if I'll regret getting a railless frame or not.

How do the newer production runs of the 941 full size with a light rail compare in overall shootability and smoothness to the classic 941?

I heard some people saying the police star models had nicer, shorter and lighter triggers but I also saw others saying the trigger was worse.

Are they removable?

Anyone know what range S&W zeroes their BG 2.0s to? I'm hitting a good bit low and left within about 20-30 feet with 90 grain ball.
