I saw a mod. 18 NIB at a local gunshop. The owner had just bought it and it was sitting in the counter in the box. I got excited hoping I had a chance to buy it, but was told it's not for sale. I need to find some new gun shops that will sell older high-value guns rather than keep them all for themselves, and only offer for sale new vintage guns. He also has a 5-screw K-22 (pre-model 17) that he took in off a widow for a very cheap price, and that's not for sale either. Like I said earlier, I have an M17-5 and the difference between that and the M18 combat masterpiece is the 17-5 has a heavier barrel, and the hammer is broader on the 18. I think the wider hammers and triggers are referred to as target; is this correct? Ron
