I better clean up the C-Bob before they get here so the grips do not look like they are slumming to be on my gun. It gets carried a lot and babied little!

I think I know what you mean. When I saw Bawanna's CBob my jaw dropped a little. I know I could never own one because it's too pretty to shoot. That's the pickle I had originally when I had the Colt Mustang. I wouldn't carry it because I didn't want it to get dings.

I carry it every day. I really don't baby it but I don't use it to hang wanted posters either. Don't drag it behind the truck on a string. A little wipe down now and then and she stays real pretty. I of course test driving those handles for evaluation purposes. Sad that you have to keep em covered up.

I'm kind of glad to hear Johnh doesn't baby his, will be a good test to see how well this stuff holds up. I think it will hold up well but won't know till its rode a few miles.

Like xrustyx told me he's thinking of putting his under glass since it's so pretty. Everything he did to that MK can be done again down the road if it ever starts to wear. Look at his before pictures. I think it would hold up just fine in a good holster.

This isn't my '17. But I like the way the grips fill in a little just behind the trigger guard. Mine has the bottom rear corner slightly rounded. I fitted a pair of factory Magna's and I can send 'em to ya when you're ready to start.

My Spider Senses are startin' ta tingle!!!

Here is the latest by Bawanna, a beautiful set for an MK9.

Well some extremely sad news this evening at the Bawanna Grip factory. xrustyx reports these MK9 grips do not fit his GC sn MK9. Hard for me to type thru the tears running down my face but I'm trying to man up and get thru this. I built these on a GA sn MK9 so apparently its a little older and different than his.
Gonna see if theres a way to modify them to work after I see a picture but these could be up for grabs if anyone has a early MK9 let me know.

[OldLincoln]

Hey, I'm really sorry big guy. They look so nice perhaps you can mount them in a frame because they really are a work of art.

Actually the guy I borrow the gun from to make grips might like em but I figured I'd check with the gang here first. He's a really good buddy but we're Kahrtalk pals here. I've been trying to talk him into selling me the gun but if it's that early maybe I need a newer model.

I'm just sick that we got ole xrustyx all jazzed about these and then they don't work. Poor guy even offered money for my efforts even though they didn't work, a sure sign of mental anquish and trauma.

Guess there's some different variations in the frame we dont even know about. I figured GA to GC things wouldn't change much. For the second time in my life I was WRONG. I think the first time was in 1968 or maybe 67.

We'll get thru this, we truely will.

[OldLincoln]

Let's see, that first time was when you "thought" you were wrong but turned out you weren't, right?

Crap, I told you about that before huh?

[Bawanna]

Suppose to get some more of this wood soon. I don't even have any to make my own with. When I get some I'll make a couple sets and we can both fondle pretty wood while we await the big check.

Well once again some sad news from the bawanna grip factory. I went to range today and thought I'd take that last set of Cbob handles for a test drive to see how they worked baby butt smooth. They worked fabulous up till the second magazine when bad things happened.
I'll let the pictures my partner Old Lincoln will post tell that story. I also included a picture of my bench so everyone would know I cleaned it up alot in preparation for gun cleaning.
I've got a plan 2 already in my head for the next set. I gotta make em work, they are just too pretty to scrap the idea. I'll make it work.
Well I'm off to the reloading thread and then a sad, very sad Dear Johnh letter. Sure glad I broke em before I sent them, he'd have had bad thoughts of me forever.

[OldLincoln]

What a bummer! Like they say "Bad Break." A little duct tape and it'll be okay.

[Bawanna]

Not to worry I'll get a handle on this. I think I just made them a little too tight. Looking at the picture I like the side that didn't break better. I'll try to get enough so I can get both sides to match a little closer if I can.

I'm gonna start autographing the inside too. Hmm, wonder what I should write in there.

How about "Obama in 2012"?

Way to keep your head up and gear up for the next attempt. I almost teared up when I heard/saw the news. I forgive the cbob though.

[Catshooter]

Bwanna,

Too sad. Please definatley sign them. But I'd rather not 'Obama in 2012' if you don't mind. Clean bench! Very nice. That looks like a Gerstner box over on the right, is it? I've lusted after one of those for years and years. Never could bring myself to spend the money though.

Old Linclon,

What the hell are you thinking? You can't use duct tape for a repair like that! It has to be bailing wire! Sheesshhhh. Some people's kids.
