Sweet Mary and Joseph!!! You know I'll have to have one of those without question.

Picture that with stag grips if you will. My britches are sticking out in front just thinking about it.

That right there is a my oh my oh my.

Damn, wish I hadn't seen this. You sir are an instigator.

Back to sleeping with my upper body in the heavy duty galvanized garbage can so the wife can't get to my throat too easy.

Oh man, that’s beautiful. I’d want to display that one. And the stag grips would put it over the top.

[Ikeo74]

Looks good to me and I am not a 1911 fan. Maybe I'll change my mind. I like it!

[Bawanna]

While my wish list is constantly evolving I'm far enough into the game of life that it does sometimes appear to get shorter if only for short periods of time.
It also seems to stay more on course as to whats at the top of the want list.
This completely blew all that out the window.
This is now # 1 on the wish list. Also # 1 on the want list, hasn't made it onto the need list but it's getting closer.

I too would like to display it but on my hip in a nice Mernickle holster, maybe snake skin or sting ray.

Awesome BBQ gun and rig, but hey we can BBQ every day right?

[AIRret]

Now that's funny!!!!!
Nice work with the photo shop.

That gag across his mouth has real possibilities!!!!!!

By the way, today I finally went over 8,000 rounds on my CZ75 SP-01 tac. with zero failures.
I have a DPMs recoil spring in it and I will soon change out all springs and roll pins etc.

[AIRret]

Sooooooo, I agree with the go fund me idea. But!!!!
We will be feeding his addiction, there could be consequences.

Thats good to know. My SP-01 is somewhere over 1000 with zero failures. How long did it take you to get there?

My problem is I have TOO MANY (if that’s possible) pistols to distribute the ammo to. My HK P30 has the most and it’s 2700 since I got it in January but it gets carried often is why. I bought the SP-01 the end of last year and sadly have neglected it I believe but the trigger is smooth as butter.

[AIRret]

It took about 4 years, and yes I have other firearms, but I LOVE my CZ75 SP-01 tac so it does get more range time than my other guns.

[kenemoore]

I have had my SP01 ( I have the non-decoker model) for about 6 years and have a little over 5000 rounds through it. The trigger has smoothed out very well. At one point, I considered doing some trigger work on it, but after about 1000 rounds, never saw the need. Until recently it was my favorite 9mm, saw a lot of range time.

I recently acquired a Shadow II, now it's my favorite, already 1000 rounds through it. Best non-1911 trigger I have every encountered.

[AIRret]

I would love to get another CZ 75 Sp-01, and a Phantom

I'm a stag guy myself, but wonder if mammoth tooth might not work:

Of course that would set one back $1,295 or more:2eek:. I wonder if how it is cut accounts for that "or more" part? http://custom.challisgrips.com/pages/14/Mammoth-Tooth-Info

Case hardening just looks right on the 1911. I'm very interested, but I'd likely replace the safety, slide stop, hammer, grip screws and pins with the deep blued ones similar to what Standard did with theirs. https://www.classicfirearms.com/standard-mfg-1911-45acp-case-color

Oh yes, the Phantom knows :)

That is a nice touch. I wonder if that blue is achieved by heat? Which got me to wondering if either company is using a clear coat to protect the case hardening?
It would be nice to know how the color case hardened frames on that batch of DE1911s done some years back are holding up.

Greg, I believe that is what they call nitre blue. The process is much different than standard bluing. http://tincanbandit.blogspot.com/2014/06/nitre-bluing.html

It's what Turnbull uses to make those luscious blue works of art. https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/restoration-services/nitre-bluing/

Thanks :) Neither (fire or nitre bluing) is very durable, which got me to wondering about a clear coat.

Case hardening isn't durable? I'm starting to feel like the Hindenburg here. I'm pretty ease on stuff but I'd want it to hold up.

My case hardened revolvers are doing ok but they rarely get carried although I plan to more often when I get some 45 Colt ammo sorted out.

It's one the more fragile finishes. Direct sunlight and handling can dull the colors. Varnish was used to protect it back in the day. Modern clear coats should be more durable.
Turnbul supposedly does clear coat on the color case hardening they do: https://huntforever.org/2016/03/02/turnbulls-signature-case-color-hardening/

Alternatively, sit in the shade at barbecues and tell folks your religion demands that if you draw it, you must use it.;)

My britches are sticking out in front just thinking about it.

You sure that's not your Joystick?

I'll be jealous until I get my own!!
