              Beyond the obvious - either a completely absent weapon, or, assuming the gun would be in a holster on her strong (right) side, hidden from view on that hip - she's missing adequate body armor (given a reasonably skill marksman). However, in the UK, nobody's allowed to have guns, so that would make her pretty much invinvible (and kinda hot). However, from a rifleman's point of view, she wouldn't be considered an immediate threat, so I'd be looking for more dangerous individuals to dispatch to the great doughnut factory in the sky.

                        ...and probably less effective. On a lighter note, I bought a Springfield "Mil-Spec" .45 a few months ago. The price was right and overall I like the gun, but I did put a C&S trigger kit in...made a big difference. Next thing may be to replace the virtually nonexistent sights.

                          I suspect you'll find that's a stab vest not a bullet-proof vest. British police often wear a stab vest because being shot at is a much less likely danger.

                            I have a Springer G.I. that was "massaged" by their Custom Shop. Internal deburring, fitted match barrel bushing, polished feedramp, trigger job, ejection port lowered/flared (like the Milspec), and three-dot Novak Sights. I think it's a better pistol than anything you can get off the shelf because a qualified smith gave it the once-over. Over 4000 rounds later, not a single malfunction, and dead-nuts accurate besides. I also have a RIA FS-Tactical that I haven't shot yet. However, i did rerplace the FLGR and the ambi-safety with standard parts. Once of these days (probably sometime in October/November), I'll take it out and shred some paper with it. :)

                              I may do some more "massaging" on mine at some point. I had put quite a bit of money into my Gold Cup years ago before it got stolen. It would drive tacks. Damn shame. I doubt I will put that much into this one. I did buy a pea-shooter recently (Ruger LCP), but I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
