Name finally made it to the top of the list. A nice 1911, specially for the price, with good options. Grips pretty but no grip. Flat diamonds and urethane after the checkering (pressed) makes them feel slick. Added VZ Operators. Trigger averaged 6 Lbs 3.0 Ounces for 10 pulls. A little...
I agree completely. My EDC is a Smith PC CQB in .45 ACP. I saw this one, negotiated a fair price and bought it because I wanted it. These days purchases are few and far between, but need rarely comes into play any more.
Found this little beauty at a gun show - too old not to have been shot, but looked pristine. Tight lockup, nice trigger. Had to have it. Five shot .44 Special. Speed Loaders for the range, Speed Strips for carry - nice and flat (carries six instead of five).
I don't have much - specially compared to the items shown on this thread !! But .........
First up is an AAC Prodigy 22LR Suppressor with a Gen-III Core. Multi-Host - shown below is a Ruger MK-III 22-45 with a Tactical Solutions threaded upper. The little Walther P-22 is sporting an AAC...
Okay -- what is the difference between a 686-5 Plus and a 687 ?
My 687 - sent to Jack Weigand for his "Tame the Beast" conversion - second sweetest revolver I own.
Definitely a Weigand logo. And a great find. I had two done by Jack in 1997 - a 687 and a 696. Still have the 687 - killing myself for selling the 696 :banghead: At that time the only revolvers Jack would work on were Ruger and S&W. A top quality revolver-smith - and great customer service...
I've only used Tru-Oil once. I refinished the "hardwood" stock on a Remington 788 (30-30) I bought at the PX for $67 back in '70. I put a black decelerator pad on it, used Brownell's kit to glass bed it (wanted to see if I could do it right), used their barrel channel inletting tool to open up...
I have a Storm Lake on my P14-45. Ordered a "Drop-in" -- it didn't. Called them, "Because of the ramped barrel on the Para, sometimes a little fitting is required. Found a good 1911 'smith -- $110 later and it shoots like a dream. Wait time was less than 10 days -- on the original order...
Hi,
Old shooter living in Georgia. U.S. Navy from 1965 to 1978. Per signature, NRA Certified Instructor. Not retired (yet) - working for a computer manufacturer. Been a shooter since Boy Scouts. Like to take pictures too.
