My E.D.C. has been a Springfield 1911 Compact for many, many years now, in a belt slide. ("Cocked and locked, with one in the pipe") My Son has just retired from Virginia Police, after 25 years service, and promptly stashed His duty weapon and got out his 1911 Colt, and started carrying it...

I have an older S&W 39-2 (1976 maybe) that I have wanted to make new grips for, and do not have the time or interest at the present time with all that's going on here. Would anyone have a set of "NICE" originals they would part with, and how much would you need for them? Jim

S&W sent me an announcement the day they went on the counters, because I pestered them from their first article announcing that they were going to make the 617 ! Bought the 617 the day they were first shipped to my local gun shop ! Absolutely flawless, without a single regret, and would not...

So many options, . . . . . . So little time ! I always assumed that was why there are so many options, and that I was obligated to try them all !! Or, at least all I can afford !!! :lol: :lol: And I've been working hard at it !

I'm a good size fellow also, & I have taken to carrying my GP100 Match Champ, and love it !! My EDC used to be a compact 1911 Springfield in an IWB holster, and so I also carry it from time to time, just for old time's sake. Man, I've carried my S&W 657 at times ! I can hide most anything...

Belt size ??

Yes, it has been !! I managed to salvage all my shots from PB, but I have been growing older & tired-er and slower, so it is just taking L--O--N--G--E--R !!! I've been selling the Mdl.77 Rifle stock inserts in other places, & have run out of those, as I sold over 40 sets this Fall that I had...

I have offered Stainless, Black, Brass or Blued hardware since I started making grips nearly 20 years ago. It's always been up to the buyer. Right now, I've slowed down a little, and need to get things back up & running on a new photo hosting site, and it's not going too well. Jim

I just re-shimmed the hammer, (.005 shims) as it displayed way too much side play, & replaced the springs with the same Wolff springs (6# trigger/10# hammer) as are in my 6" standard GP. WOW, !!! What a difference that made. Functions perfectly, & smooth as butter !!! After dry firing for a...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I already bought it, but have not had much playtime with it yet !!

GP100 4" .41 Magnum five shooter.

I wonder how difficult it would be to remove the ugly billboards on the flats of my GP Match Champ barrel & get a good finish match with the rest of the gun. I've always thought the Taurus revolver markings looked hideous, & now Ruger has joined the club with huge signs on their GP barrels. I...

I know it has probably been discussed, but what photo hosting site is anyone using since Photobucket screwed us all over ?? Photobucket was kind of crappy anyway !!
