Totally agreed about the training. I’ve gotten all of my defensive training hours at this point into a double action that I just would be willing to invest the proper amount of time or money into...
Thanks and agreed!
Road rage thugs rammed us a few times behind, then came back once we pulled off the road and rammed us in the front. Then slowly crept by drivers side, I thought to maybe shoot us, so I drew down on...
I love 1911’s, but do not carry one. Best dang guns ever at the range, for dressing up, etc. BUT.. I’ve been through an adrenaline dump, pull a gun on the bad guy scenario. As a result of that, I do...
Ah, gotchya! Yes, I'm sure any "grade" of Wilson would be great to have and hold, or so I've read many times. I know what you mean about the full size... If not for the thumb safety, and the size...
The finished grips are super luxurious! Ed Brown? Wilson? Yer a fancy dude for sure! Man I can't imagine what you might have that you haven't even told us about.
Congratulations on the CZ Barth! Last time I went to the range my buddy brought his. It was accurate and fun to shoot with min recoil!
dao, the trigger seemed pretty much like the Colonel described....
I’ve looked at a few of these over the years, and once had an LDA Carry 9…
Para LDA Companion 45. Just a bit of an odd gun, which I like. Found one at the lgs about a month ago when picking up that...
Nice Army! I was looking at those recently. I’m with dao on old school looks of them. Looks like a good package deal too!
Si senior! Ya got me!
I’ve never been able to simultaneously look at the left side and the right side, so I personally do not care as much about that as others may. Both sides in the pics you posted have curves and...
Dang man! You got the right piece of wood that time for sure! 2nd from the left piece as previously discussed?
Lol about the bushings. There’s a reason why the Carry I’m working on is fully...
A hair dryer? No wonder it looks so luxurious! 😂
Ah, gotchya! Yes, those are some nice grips on the long slide. Too bad they are so expensive. A guy on ebay sells acrylic faux mammoth. They look ok I guess.

Thanks dao. I’m leaning to the gray too.
Agree with the Colonel, that checkering and blue came out perfect. Looks factory. Did you blue a silver trigger, or did that one come black? The grips look...
I have yet to pour grips. Not sure what I’m waiting on. Those are “Piranha” G10 grips and matching msh by Hogue. Grips were a deal on Ebay and the msh off Amazon. Yeah, those mammoths are spensive. I...
Got finished with one side of the Tisas slide, and the springbox. Tried to somewhat copy this longslide's damascus pattern, but the serration areas were a pita. Just doing the flats and spring box....
Lol! Never thought about the squirt gun thing, but have to admit that you are correct. 😁 But the ketchup on the corn dogs... come on man!
For me at least, it’s mostly aesthetics. A solid one looks better. Gotta be cool! :cool:
Agreed! The three holes punched into one would probably only equal the weight of a piece of pocket lint anyways, so not sure where and benefit would be.
Yaaaah! Congratulations my friend. Of course, interested to see what you do with it. My stuff is usually aesthetics, while yours is a mix of aesthetics and function. Thinking the function part won’t...
Certainly! Your method sounds solid Dan. I’ve been using the pipe cleaners to scrub in there, and through the striker hole. Can run it straight, or turn it into a coil by wrapping it around something...
Here’s one. There’s a few on there:

I bet the Grip Master could turn your dreams into reality Wlf!
Agreed on the 2nd from the left. My next choice would be 2nd from the right. I like those opposing grain directions.
