What a purdy sidearm.

I dont think anyone does it purdier or more expensive than JJFU...

Gorgeous. That Damascus .45 sure is purdy.

I've been checking these out tonight.

MOA Rifles

The Extreme Summit at 5 lbs. 6 oz would be a thumper in the .300 Winny. Fully loaded = $10,000. A feller can dream...

I can spend hours on gun broker....time flies when doing so.

Those MOA's are sweet rifles....5 and a half pounds is crazy light.

There are a lot of nice 1911's out there.
A guy doesn't want to die without owning a 1911.
Wilson does a nice job with the 1911...
http://www.wilsoncombat.com/custom-work-gallery/#gallery-160782/8

I like 'em understated.

I want my 1911's to be original. None of that fancy-schmancy crap for this guy! I want to know that some brass-balled, brave as frack, US Soldier cold-cocked the enemy across the back of the head in a previous war with the 1911's I own!

I own 2.5 1911's. All are bastardized to some degree and the .5 is just the receiver as the top half died. At this point, I think the blood of our enemies has been cleaned out of these 1911's - and probably degraded their value.

As for lightweight rifles, check out my new Kimber Mountain Ascent in .300 Win Mag. She's light. Really damn light. 5lbs. 10 ounces. Not including scope and mount.





She's got a Leupold VX-6 4-24x52 sitting on her.

All great rifles and pistols.

If you are serious about a long range shooter look at RBros.
The guy is a friend and lives in the Elma area.

His guns are second to none at accuracy.

Paker - that Kimber is the EXACT rifle I've been after for some time. Glad to see you brought one home! If you ever want to get it out to the range or mountains to shoot, let me know. I'd love to check it out and maybe take it for a spin (seriously). Have you patterned any ammo yet? If so, which flavors have worked best so far?

Thanks WDFW for sharing R Bros. I checked out their site and they make some serious toys. A local company too! I saw they have a lightweight long range hunter in .338 RUM. Um...no thanks...I like my shoulder where it is. I may just have to visit their shop one day and take a closer look.

I still have a Weatherby .308 that I need to finish up customizing over the next couple of months. Once it's done and dialed, I'll need a new toy to focus on. Saving my pennies now...

Has anyone seen those Kimber's that are called sapphire, they are the gawd awful ugly. I'm not a fan of gaudy looking guns. I happen to think Glock's are beautiful.

Nice smokepole, Paker !

I see some pretty serious tools there for a nerd.
Somebody else's man cave ?

Yeah - Kimber definately makes some ugly finishes.

This to me is beautiful, an honest piece of history.

A good bunch of Spaghetti Slingers have hit the US market and I couldn't resist. (Beretta 92S police trade-ins $279 - $350)
I never thought I'd own a Whop Automatic, but after handling it, they are truly one of the great pistols.
Hot rod parts readily available, too.
There are some crooks on Gunbroker selling these but there are a couple of other places off the grid that still have some nice ones.
PM me if interested on the low down.

Is that the mag release above the trigger? What would a new barrel cost for that gun? Is your barrel in good condition.

That's the slide stop lever.
To the left of that is the take-down lever.
Fast, easy take-down

Up on the slide is the combination safety-decock lever.
Mag release is at the heel of the grip.

My barrel looks like a former cop's gun....hardly shot.
Replacement barrels run $90 - $130 and come with a new locking block, typically.

DD - if the Spaghetti Slingers are good enough for John McClane, they should be good enough for the rest of us. Yippe Ki Yay Mofo's....:)

Now I have a machine gun....HO HO HO!

Yep, that reminds me....I need to order some shoulder leather !
Maybe a Miami Vice Special !
Fuk yeah, mofos !

Here's the hot-rodded "Brig Tac" from Wilson...
http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Beretta-_-Wi...-9/#prettyPhoto[gallery] nofollow/0/
That's actually a fair price by the time you add everything up.

Heavy Duty Brigadier slide
Checkered A1 frame
etc etc etc

That mag release is in a strange place, seems you have to use two hands to get to it. How does it shoot? Your right about Cop guns don't get much use. Many Cops are not gun nuts like us, and only shoot enough to stay current to job requirements.

I like that gun, mag release is where it should be.

Growing up in the 80's, I have a special spot for the 92. It's all you ever saw...on the streets, on TV and in the ALL of the action movies. It was THE sidearm of its time. I remember the day my Dad brought his home. I was around 10 - 12 years old and I'd only shot wheel guns up to that point and I thought it was the coolest, most badass thing on the planet. Too bad they never made a .45 acp...I'd be all over it.

Spaghetti Slingers....I just connected the dots.

You come up with that?

Holy Dickheads....which one of you Jokers changed my Avatar sig line? Fvck...I just noticed. How long has it been like this? I can't deny...it is funny.

I have a suspect and I'm currently watching his dogs. Maybe he'll get em' back, maybe I'll keep em' or just maybe they may "wander out my back door". They're chipped...they'll be fine.

Probably Toff, he's a mod you know.

Just got it...haven't shot it yet.
The slide is like glass smooth.
Mags have this precision fit to them...hard to describe.
It's a well built firearm. Big, not for weaners with small hands.

That's the early mag release location.
You use your thumb on your weak-side hand....it's not bad.
Mags drop free.

No, I saw that somewhere.

i think im gonna get one of the Remington R1 1911's in a couple months, unless i buy my moms Smith 60LS...

LOL

Meet your instructor...

DD - I've always carried Western style. Who do you recommend for shoulder holsters?

Crap, I dunno.
If you're carrying while hunting, I see that the "chest rig" is popular.
Top of the heap would be... https://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/products/guides-choice-chest-holster
Looks like it would be out of the way for a day pack.

If it's concealed carry, that gets complicated.
Kydex or leather ?
IWB or OWB or SOB ?
Pancake ?
Strong side ?
Cross draw ?
FBI cant ?
Paddle ?
Appendix ?

I just ordered an OWB, cross-draw, snap on.
I can't do IWB....no way.

This is the best buy, hands down for a 1911 pancake...
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/779488/...ent-leather-tan
It's even suede lined with the sweat shield.
I've warmed up to the saddle tan with white stitching look...shows off the saddlemakers craft.
Available in black direct from Ross but will cost much more.

And then there's always Chicago style...

Nice - thanks! Hunting, fishing, hiking and in-field work only. I don't carry in town. That Diamond chest rig is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't like any of the underarm rigs (Galco's etc.). Thanks again DD...

I think PPer ColeyG wears one.
AND, since they're in Wasilla, maybe Sarah will sign it for you ?

Wins all around !

It would be nice to have a gun forum here. What do you think TRBO ?

Gun forums are verboten in Blue States.

True dat.

Indeed! Great piece of gear right there. I've got 8 years and a lot of hard miles on mine and it is still going strong. Great product made by great folks. I've had them do a few custom projects for me and their work is outstanding.

Sexyass kimber there Parker. Can I have it when you die?

And have a Merry Christmas!

Poor Paker. Christmas hate is next level hate. It wouldn't be a Dark Side Holiday any other way. We truIy are the gift that keeps on giving.

I have '0' hate. However good humor deserves acknowledgement.

DD,
Good looking specimen. I have an 870 Wingmaster trade in coming late next week. It is surely not in the same shape your Beretta is. Do you have any tips for refinishing stocks? Is it something a novice like myself could tackle?

1. Wasn't me
2. You know who it was
3. It has been that for over a month, you knucklehead, Nick :-)

Fish on...

Todd

Nice, the 870 is one of the best pump scatterguns ever made.

Not an expert, but I know that you want to resist the urge to sand because too much can change the shape.
Use a chemical remover.

For finish I notice that Birchwood Casey's Tru-Oil is a crowd favorite.

Sometimes you can find nice "furniture" on Ebay or Gunbroker if you want to go that route.

Good luck.

Start with a belt sander.

Just joking...don't do that. DD is right, there are tons of after market goodies for the 870's. Ghost rings sights are a nice affordable upgrade on that shotty.

No.
Hammer a 12 pack AND THEN start in with the belt sander.
My favorite being the 4x24 Makita and a good IPA for the other.




Fawk, I thought this was about 1911's ?
Mention guns and all the loonies (me, too) chime in.
We might need a gun looney sub-forum after all.

My bad. I saw police trade in and changed course like a jet skiing Lk Washington sockeye fisherman. I recently enjoyed firing a Colt Government model 1911. It had a compensator and the trigger pull was quite pleasant. I really, really didn't want to like it as much as I did.

No worries.
The affliction is hard to control.

DD- I use this shoulder holster and think it's fantastic. Safe to carry in condition 0 because the leather tension strap drapes across the firing pin.
http://www.holsterama.com/premium-leather-shoulder-holster-set/

A lot of famous, upstanding, talented, quality, and great people have died in 2016. Phew. I'm safe...at least for this week!

Oh, and I've always loved the look of the 92F, but they feel like crap when I've shot them. I always think I need one for my collection, but I'd never shoot it.

As for shoulder holsters? #DonJohnson #MiamiVice #WannabeCop #ColeyISaCopy

It's still 2016, and it is Tuesday.

You should stay inside, Paker.

Fish on...

Todd

Looks like a nice rig.

Try an M9A3.
That's the latest version.
(threaded barrel, too)

Check out this street sweeper.

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/610070630

In my opinion the sickest revolver ever made. These Colt's have sky rocketed in the last 10 years.

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/609864286

Pythons are nice.
Their pricing is out of whack.
Pricing might be OK if they could defeat Darth Vader and his light saber, though.

When I wanted my first 9mm auto I Googled, searched ad nauseum.
"Best 9mm auto"

CZ 75 kept popping up.
Supposedly the most copied design next to 1911 and truly one of the great pistols, IMO.
Just not that popular in the US, as it was the gun of our enemies during the Cold War and didn't get imported until later.

Anyway, I ended up with one of these.
(mine has stock grips, the one in the pic has Al comp grips)
Low bore axis and all steel.
Lots of race parts available too.

CZ 75 SP-01


18+1 (some claim 19+1)
Good for long duration gunfights.

Really?

Next to the Browning hi-power I think that Beretta fits my hand better than about any auto pistol I've ever held. It's an over built 9mm for sure, big, tough & reliable.

That CZ 75 is a looker, like to shoot one in 10mm.

Anyone own a Star PD it was that little compact 45 Auto popular as a bug back in the day? I had one and it was a hoot to shoot with hardball, but a little tough to hang on to.....

I am mostly a big bore revolver guy but I do have a few autos, shooting more .22 long rifle pistols & 38 wadcutters in my old age...lol



c/22

The ascot gang might entertain a G20.
Sounds like some kind of fly reel or fly pattern.

Word on the street says that SIG P320 might be the military's next sidearm.
Apparently it's the only one in the Finals that fully meets specifications.

For a 10mm I would take a hard look at this one....
Not a budget rig, but who cares ?



Add a Diamond D Guide's Choice chest rig and you are set.

If you stick with a Glock 20 10mm, you can also put it into a nice little MechTech 10mm camp carbine

MechTech 10mm Carbine

Dood, that's a 'hood gun.
Or a dirt and 2 liter shooter in suburb lingo.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That's my woods gun. It's nicer to shoot than my G23.

Was that the P320rx? The price for that combo is a real bargain. Cabelas has a stainless version.

Glockenspiel 20 is ugly, but it'll get er done.

C/22, you still have that mountain gun? I think it was a .41 mag?

Sold it. Had a nice set of S&W Combat finger grooves on it, along with the gold bead front sight from the custom shop. Good shooter, tight & smooth.

Thought I was a big deal getting $700 for it, back in 2012. Probably worth $1200 now.

Live & learn.

That was a sweet pistol, the prices on those nice wheel guns have all gone up in price. At least you didn't lose money on it, quality guns are like precious metals, liquid currency.

Think we all have one we wished we'd kept.

c/22

Nice.
Looks like it tames the recoil well.

That SIG 220 in 10mm above looks like it would be fun to shoot.

Held the big Sig 10mm, it's a handful of gun. But it's built like a tank Swiss/German precision @ it's finest.

Just yesterday looked @ remod Ruger Redhawk in 41 magnum, another handful of stainless steel. Thing is built like a 454 Casull.

c/22

That's why Hickok45 liked its recoil impulse.
Big round + big gun = fun to shoot.
