^ Cool! Nice grips.

[Bawanna]

Well dang, I remember seeing that and love that little thing to pieces. I guess it didn't compute that it was a Birds Head handle.

That's absolutely drop dead gorgeous and if you ever part ways with that for any reason or no reason at all, let me be the first to offer it a good forever home. I know you never will but put me on the list just the same. I know your after my cyber wife AIRret but please don't use that for bait.

Christmas brought me a W. German Sig Sauer P230 SL.



How ever my latest addition isn't even available on the street yet. I went to my LGS yesterday and put my money down for the 1st Ruger PC Carbine they get off the truck. Now I have to wait as patiently as humanly possible for it to arrive.

The Sig is a beautiful pistol. With those Hogue grips, the gun is a joy to shoot. Enjoy that "new" P230.

Beauty and the Beast

A local pawn shop had a P40 Covert on the shelf for just over two bills, still I could see it had a couple of issues, so I went home to think it over. I returned the next and bought it (after they replaced a broken follower). I also noticed they had a very nice Kimber Classic Custom Target. I had been tempted by some Kimber TLE II pistols that the Sheriff's Department had traded in to a local shop, so when the pawn shop bubba agreed to knock about $50 dollars off the Target model, I gladly paid the $90 difference for it over the Sheriff's guns. The Target is an early Kimber with no FPS and has a great trigger to boot:0

Here's the Beast:
I trimmed the barrel ramp on the P40C so as to not breal anymore followers and reshaped the slide stop spring. The sights didn't shot to my liking so I modified the front. It's finish was decent, but I hit with a light blast of bead anyway. Not much to see, but here's a before (top) and after:


I'm pleased with how it turned out. After shortening and blending the ramp, I was able to chamber different 160 and 180 grain loads by pretty much riding the slide into battery. The darn thing seems to buck more than the PM40 top end that I had for my CM9. It's a beast.

The Beauty:
The Kimber is a sweet shooing pistol. It runs smooth, gobbled up all the commercial and hand loaded stuff we had with us. I did pull off the ambi thumb safety someone had put on it for a small shelf TS.

I'm very pleased with this pistol
Regards,
Greg

That P40 was a steal............................................. ...........

That Kimber is a beauty. I still think the 1911 is about the prettiest handgun ever made. Love the looks of that one.

Picked up my new Sp101 in .327 Federal at Grabagun near Dallas yesterday. I like how Ruger moved the ugly lawyers billboard from the side of the barrel down to the bottom of the ejector housing:

Nice!

They all look so much nicer now days with the wood grip inserts too. Haven't made any in a long time. No need since they did away with the ugly plastic.

Another Sig followed me home....had to have a 357 Sig 239 [has both barrels, 40& 357] to keep my 9mm Sig 239 company.

Have a factory P239 357 SRT myself.
It's never ever FTF/FTE and is very soft shooting.
Congratulations!

Is that REALLY your 9mm?
It's the wrong color.

[jeepster09]

The 9mm is the right color the other one is not :=]

[Bawanna]

Check back next week, it'll probably be right by then.
