Well,

I turned my G19 into Tripp's last week, and got it back today..

All I can say is:

WOW!

Virgil Tripp and staff do beautiful work,

and attention to detail is excellent..

I'd recommend Tripp Research to anyone after this experience..

I also found out they are now making a 1911 magazine to compete with the Wilson Mags everyone seems to be so fond of..

I've just got to get a 1911 first, and then I'm going to buy one..

Check out his website..

Whats did it cost you and what was the turn-a-round time?

[dwestfall]

Looks just like Will Smith's gun in Bad Boys II... :rolleyes:

[LAWDOGKMS]

$70 smackers, and worth every penny...

[dwestfall]

I'm going to have them do my P7 too. With the Glock tennifer I just don't see the need for it except if it appeals to you cosmetically. My Glocks aren't my "purty" guns. :)

Nice, but ... My goodness!

What happened to the finger-grooves and accessory rail? :D

Yep, I luv the 3rd generation Glocks the best.

:evil:

[WonderNine]

That slide really looks great.

Did you have to send them the whole gun?

[LAWDOGKMS]

No,

You don't have to sent he whole gun, and in fact, I believe you can avoid going through an FFL if you send only the slide..

I turned my whole gun in, because I wanted the slide release and take down lever chromed as well..

[Dobe]

I was considering sending a handgun of mine, but I was wondering, if there is a non glare chrome finish available from Tripp.

[agony]

Yes they offer a satin-type finish.

Tripp rocks!!!!

[Mastrogiacomo]

I sent the slide and barrel to Tripp for my gun -- on it's way back real fast too! I didn't opt for the whole gun because I had some trigger work done to it and didn't want to hurt it. Next guns though....:D :D :D

It cost me $8 to mail it with insurance and $100 for the slide and barrel in Chome with $30 to return it to me. A great deal. My other compact will have the same work done by Tripp.;) I looked at other finishing companies but Tripp had the best turn around time, prices, gun finish and prompt e-mail to boot.

[Wild Bill]

Nice LAWDOGKMS! Very nice. ;) :D

[Schuey2002]

and what was the turn-a-round time?
I emailed them out of curiousity about this same subject and they said that their current turn-around time was 8 days.. ;)

[tlhelmer]

Do they take your sights off and put them back on?
