I like the serations on the raptor. Wish they'd make crimson trace to fit wide bodies.

Very nice!!  How do you like the G 10 grips?  I like the magazine release cut out which directs your thumb directly to the release button.

I really love them. They almost hold your hand.

That mag cutout is something subtle that makes them even better.

Any issues  with the G 10 rubbing against your side, especially in the summer months when you might just be wearing a tee shirt to cover the gun?  I have several G 10 knives and know it can be quite course.  I'm thinking about putting a set on my Nighthawk but so far have stayed with cocobolo stocks.

Dude, I live in Jersey. I'm lucky I'm allowed to carry a gun from the back table to the booth at the range!

I WISH I had to worry about carrying my TRP.

Excellent point.  Do you carry it around in the house?       

Just make sure you don't have those "evil" hollowpoints in the Garden State.  I heard a story of a woman who carried into NJ, with an out of state CCW, and was arrested.  The judge let the person off with a year probation but fined her $1,000 per each hollow point round.  The remarkable thing is that NJ is the only state banning hollow points, even for retired LEO, because the ignorant legislators confused hollow points with armor piercing bullets and thus banned them...You can't make it up.

There's a fun caveat. I can HAVE them, I just can't CARRY them. Pretty much, I can keep them in my house, but can't take them anywhere, even if I don't have a gun (unless I'm going to the range or going hunting). That's the fun part to me, getting arrested for ammunition with no gun!

Back to Porn.

Finished pistols.


STI .38 super

Series 70, nitex, original, well worn, carried under the seat of my father inlaws car.

Para P18

My little guys, 3 and 3 1/2"

The biggen, P14 Lda Limited.

My econo 1911, Essex frame and GI slide, got basically for free, trade out on gunsmithing work. I have 76 real dollars in this pistol, and it was a project, parts I had laying around, take offs, and some stuff I won. GI barrel as well, but in the end, it works, shoots 3 1/2" at 25 yards, has a scary 1 1/2 lb trigger. I like it.

My Caspian 9mm, what a fun gun to shoot, SA slide with bomar low melt, done by yours truly, fiber optic front sight, also done by me. It is a no warranty frame, bought 1991 or so, because .38 super cracked the frame, no trouble in 9mm.

SA frame with a Marvel .22 conversion on it, the top end is normally a Colt, with Bomars and a Kart barrel, shoots 3" at 50 yards.

2 more in the works, a Les Bauer matched upper and lower, just got a barrel for it to finish it. A Safari arms, match master upper and lower, in progress, pics to come later.
