i see you finally got a 1911 austin. good job, get gunner grips and extended slide stop, youll thank me later,
when you get it, come over and get me, i want to shoot my SA for the first time also, havent found the time yet.

Miran- Where is that range? You were able to shoot from the hip without someone yelling at you? Can you bump fire there?

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to shoot from the hip, but the Rangemaster wasn't there, there was a dude about nine benches down shooting a Ruger 10/22, so I figured no one would care. I even extended the dreaded bayonet for some shots
But it's kinda pointless to shoot from the hip if you're not bump-firing, so I stopped after half a mag.

The range is in Woodland, up here by Davis. No bump-firing..three seconds between shots. I was tempted but decided against it.

There was a guy with a musket (flintlock, baby) shooting when I showed up. He left soon afterwards, but man was that thing cool.

 

[Ducky_Fresh]

Nice stuff Miran. You need a pistol for sure.

 

[Rogue]

Sorry I cant provide those. Im in the 10 day totaly useless and pointless waiting period.

Gotcha

 

[Rogue]

Well crap. Here's some pics of my toy

 

[sohijiro]

Project SKS Refinish is underway. Here's a before shot, as demonstrated by my brother.

(That kid is such a gangsta. I wish I was as cool when I was his age )

I'll have some halfway through pics coming up in a couple hours when the paint dries.

What's up Bill?

That's my state of the art Wilson CQB Tactical Armor Tuffed joint venture Kimber Tactical II with rail system.




J/K.

It's a Kimber Custom 2 with a Wilson Ultra Thin exotic wood grips. Sorry I was going to post more pics but got side swiped when the phone rang.

Continuation

 

[Chuci]

picking one up in .40 on Saturday...

great price too... Traders has it for $799 - even if they need to order one

 

[RydTher]

Rogue - did you get the grips locally? most places I have checked havent had much of a selection. Been thnking of new grips


Chuci - nice, even if it is not a .45 We need to set up another range day.

a 9mm (or .40) might expand, but a .45 won't shrink

 

[Chuci]

the target was cold dammit... and that's the story I'm stickin' too!

Hey Bill,

I purchased the grips a few years back directly from Wilson Combat http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_grips_exotic.asp . I have not seen any decent aftermarket grips besides the usual Hogue grips, Pearce, etc. at the stores .

What do you think about these?

[Ducky_Fresh]

I like the way the .40 shoots compared to the .45. Definately a sweet firearm.

 

[RydTher]

the Gunner grips are on the short list, just wondering how much 'bite' they have.

Couple others I have been looking at are the Davidosn grips http://davidsonknives.com/grips/grips.htm and another set of alumagrips in the half smooth/half checkered http://www.alumagrips.com/main.taf?p=2,1,3,4,2

hard to find smooth wood grips that are shaped for a magwell.
