Are the suppressor and baffles made of stainless steel? If so, you could always use the 50/50 "dip" of peroxide and vinegar...

What's the temperature where you are? If it's cold out, you'll hear more noise as sound travels better through cool air than warm air. Also, the last shot being the quietest makes sense for the reason PTK alluded to... no bolt slap noise. Are we to understand that you already have a...

Yeah, I read on his site that his wait list is currently full, however, like I said above, I can't afford to have the conversion done now anyway. It'll be a while (maybe six months to a year) before I will probably send it. I may go ahead and buy a Shark Brake from him, though, since it will...

Oh yes, I'm going to have it converted. I just can't afford to do it right now. When I can, though, I'm sending it to TROMIX.

Just "pulled the trigger" on a brand new IZ-109! $620 shipped! :D

PT92, thanks for the quick reply. Good to know that even if I can't afford the conversion right away, I can still at least use the 10-rounders in it!

Will the unconverted (standard) models accept 8 or 10-round magazines?

Anybody got a good place to pick up a baseline model with pistol grip? I'm not sure which version I should get. I want to get one of these just so I have one in case the political climate goes south come November, but can't afford to get all the bells and whistles (the Tromix work-over) right...

I have been thinking VERY hard about using my GI Bill to go to the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School when I get home from Korea. Would a few of you current certified gunsmiths mind if I PMed/emailed you and asked a few questions? Just who all is actually certified here? haha

PRM, you are NOT allowed to make me start wanting to find some ivory for my Navy! I can't afford it! So stop it this instant!

Have you considered doing the Remington spring-and-plunger modification (starts on page 10)?

Wow! Actual ivory on actual Colts, complete with silver grip straps... beautiful! Thanks for the pics!

I believe to the contrary, rcmodel. If he or she is not yet 21, buying a C&B revolver may be the only option for a self-defense pistol. If it is for home defense, though, I would recommend a shotgun since it is easily purchased, easily cleaned, and easy to learn to use accurately.

As a resident of this city, I'm VERY upset with how this turned out. I wasn't there, of course (deployed), but I sure wish I could have been!

MEC, Just wanted to say I got the book and it is the original. I'm loving it! It's got a lot of your personality in it and I think the no-nonsense approach makes it a very enjoyable read and very non-bias (like you said in your intro) against the various pistols talked about. When I'm done...

Can we get a pic of those, PRM? I'm particularly interested in your Pocket Navy.

Pics Doc, pics!!! ...please?

Not trying to sound like a smart a$$ here, but you guys who are trying to figure out the mechanics of this blank cartridge that cycles the slide are just enabling the OP... *shrug* Just my $0.02.

BEST. EXCUSE. EVER! Me personally, I like the '51 Navy. I've got a Pietta that has performed pretty flawlessly since I got it. I've been dying to get back to the states so I can shoot her some more (and maybe a new brace of '51s to go with her).

No one's got an opinion? I thought for sure someone would like to comment on the stats I got from my research.
