Show us your Guns!

Yup, I would definitely swap out the slide stop. Those and full length guide rods on 1911s, annoy me to no end......

 

[Story]

Has anyone here ever purchased one of the guns from the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) My Dad showed their catalog and it seemed interesting although it appeared that for the lower priced ones you may not even have a working..?

To be honest, I'm actually planning FLGR's for my customs, but only because I plan to use the FLGR for an accesory: seeing if LaserMax or somebody similar can build some custom-toys, like green-beam laser guiderod (differentiating between left and right targeting--I have a weird quirk with my eyes that I may potentially be able to engage two targets at once), LED-flashlight guiderod (concealing a gun with light can be problematic, after all) and a minicam version with wireless datalink. "Nice trick, Mr. MP40--but I can shoot around corners too, and with aim!"

I usually, since I'm a southpaw, work slidestops with my trigger-finger, so all that extension is is dead-weight--in large part, my redesign is trying to adjust the controls so they can all be worked one-handed without having to give up a strong "fighting grip".

Do I sound like "Vintagized Mall-Ninja" yet?lol

You're waaaaaaay past "Ninja".

You are a fully functional Mall-Jedi.

Hey Flyer36 you got the quintessential detective pistol there. And I can feel the stig from that sap now!:eusa_doh:

 

[carebear]

Do uniform pants still come with sap pockets anymore?

"May the Force never kick your door in at 3AM!"--unrecalled THR member's sig lol lol (Darn, and I was hoping for Dark Lord of the Sith status!) Besides, I try to avoid shopping centers anyway... "Bookstore/Library Commando", maybe? lol (Hey, at least it means I put in serious study on the subject, unlike the Gunshop Recondos and the 404th Chairborne "Keyboard Commando" regiment, right? lol)

@Deacon:lol lol lol Actually, I'm a good bit leaner than that kid albeit probably near same height, but all that armor'd just get in the way--besides, it ruins both my "Mini-Mac" and "deranged Secret Service agent after being stuck in a trash-compactor" looks. Funny one, though... lol

D-back,

I'm seeing a lot of text and yet not one picture?

Make it happen.

 

[DeaconKC]

Carebear, I just used you "malljedi" comment and broke some friends up laughing! Thanks for making our evening!

 

[carebear]

We aims to please.

By popular demand... Couldn't find my good slidestops yet, though, so it's still got the extended.

red rectangle's a digital blockout of serial

Blued original mag unknown, stainless mags CMC 8-rd. Shooting Stars I've had a while, case is a Sentry 1100 fire-safe. Now I gotta figure out why the safety won't move out of "disengaged"... Future plans include a longer-tang grip safety and longer-spur hammer, maybe a lighter mag-catch spring.

BTW, that reddish area at the rear is a trick of lighting, not rust.

 

[DeaconKC]

A very handsome shooter! Nice addition.

Holland & Holland and a Westley Richards let's see!
I've become a big fan of using my 28 the past few years, like carrying a broomstick.

 

[DeaconKC]

Just traded for this one today. A 1927 Argentine .45.

 

[JEEP]

The patina on this one is quite beautiful

What did you trade it for?
