Re: My 1911's new outfit.

Haha I figured as much :lol: . I am hoping to start carring it some though. Just need a few more mags and some hollow points. It seems to work alright for me so far. I like the arched housing. Looks more classic.

Re: My 1911's new outfit.

Functions fine. It was pretty easy to swap out. Took 10-15min. It feels fine to me. Widens out the grip just a bit. It may be 1911 blasphemy but I carry a glock on a regular basis. The arched housing mimics the glock grip angle and bump in the grip. I can switch between the platforms a bit easier no...

Re: Thoughts on the .22lr dry spell

There have been lot of price gougers around here. None of the large stores have had any .22 at all for some time. There has been a couple of gun shops to offer it pretty frequently at a reasonable price. One regularly gets in bulk pack of Remington for around $39. Another of my favorite shops had Wi...

Re: My 1911's new outfit.

Got the other stuff in today. Swapped on the slotted screws and arched mainspring housing. Feels much better to my hands. I'm really liking it. http://i1041.photobucket.com/albums/b411/ponycarman/Random%20stuff/CAM00202_zps6oezqkk5.jpg http://i1041.photobucket.com/albums/b411/ponycarman/Mobile%20Upl...

Re: AK47 vs AK74

I only have two ak's. One romanian and one saiga. I converted the saiga myself but it still comes out more than the wasr was. I shoot the romanian more though. Been thinking about getting a 74 sometime but I'm going to wait until the ammo for it becomes more readily available again. I would say go 7...

Re: Vz2008 with a little package twist

Sweet! Been wishing I could get one of these. Also have been curious how they compare to the more expensive vz58. Also how they compare when shooting, accuracy and such.

Re: My 1911's new outfit.

It was the style that was secured under the grip screws. Didn't really like it. It made complete disassembly more complicated. Also the mags I am hoping to order don't have the pads on the base. It would make it harder to fully seat the mag. Also just wanted to kinda strip it down and look more clas...

Re: My 1911's new outfit.

Thanks. I thought they mimicked wood grain and color well while keeping the durability of the micarta.

Re: Need a cheap carry gun

Looks like a keltec p3at or p32. Im guessing the silver screw was to attach a clip to carry it.

Re: My 1911's new outfit.

The screws in mine are hex headed. No idea why they stripped. I've been having to wedge a star/torx bit in them to remove them lol. I have some new slotted ones on the way.

Re: Glock 19 Gen 4

Love my glocks. I have a 17, 19, and 26. All third gen though. I wanted the fourth gen 19 and 26 but ended up finding a deal on the third gens. They are excellent pistols. My 19 stays with me always.

My 1911's new outfit.

Got a new set of grips for my rock island. Still waiting for the new grips screws (old ones are stripping out) and the arched mainspring housing. I like the old ones but wanted something a little less aggressive and more classic looking. Got the new ones on yesterday and love them. Also removed the ...
