Hope it comes back runnin like a stripe bottomed ape… good luck with it.

Last family pic before there are some drastic changes. 3 are going to auction today and will be replaced with something else later. I have one 9mm Garrison at Springfield that didn’t make the pic but oh well… it’s going to auction after it gets here too. The matte Kimber, the CA compliant...

The Rapide Black Ice in 10mm was my first choice but production is suspended. The Dawn was my second choice.

I’m stealing that one 😂

Couple pics when it went in the oven.

This was a baby rock 380 I did. Parkerized finish was crap out of the box. Before pics next to the RiIA BBR. After the acetone wash Finished product when I sold it, after several hundred rounds were put through it. The only place it ever wore was where the slide and the frame touch...

Aluminum oxide blast with an air eraser just to remove the loose and rough the surface. I wash the parts in acetone, hit it with the eraser and acetone wash again. The eraser is like $30 at harbor freight. It’s a tiny blaster like an air brush. No cabinet needed. Little jar of aluminum oxide...

GunKote, you can do it at home with an air brush and an oven. Won’t change your fitment like cerakote. Lot tougher than duracoat.

Second update… Kimber Stainless II 10mm slide refinish is done. VZ Fallout grips on the 10mm and the 45. Just need my magwells and they will be complete. I am very happy with how those two Stainless II’s turned out. The VZ Fallout grips are very aggressive, a little too aggressive for my...

Two updates, the first one… The two new Springfield Garrisons came in, one in 45 and another in 9mm. Good news on the 45, it has run without issue. Haven’t accuracy tested it yet but so far so good. The 9mm, not so good. Pretty consistent if the slide is closed when a full mag is inserted...

Lucky Girl got her grooming done today. Had to catch a still off a video. She wants to be against my legs so I have to backpedal to catch a pic 😂. I’m her best Bud after a Dairy Queen double cheeseburger 😁. She is a beast of a Siberian Husky at nearly 80lbs. Thought she was going to eat the...

I had one I bought when they first came out. wasn't super reliable but I really only ran 4 mags and put it in the safe. Sold it in a package deal for some kid wanting some 22 semis I have. Was a comfortable gun to hold. Capacity was nice. I didn't notice any real corner cutting on the one I had...

Mr. Fang got groomed today. That’s a gorgeous boy the two days a year he’s clean 😂 Left there and went for a car ride, got him a triple cheeseburger for being such a good boy.

1911 day on the range. Wife got hold of that Rapide and put 400rds through it. It’s up to 600 now and still kicking. Just barely lobs the brass out the top. Easy finding brass. We had 3 FTF today, two in the 10mm Kimber Stainless and one in the 45 Kimber Stainless. Both still breaking in...

I bet those 9mm high caliber weapons have the ability with a 30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. 30 magazine clip within half a second and weigh as much as 10 moving boxes…

Btw, I found those Rapide grips at VZ Grips and ordered two pair. I love those grips. I’ll save the others for another occasion. I really like that look and feel. Further note, little brother bought his Ruger Commander size 9mm and I brought the Kimber Rapide out to the in-laws this afternoon...

I’ve never had a problem with S&B ammo. Scheels had a 10% off handgun ammo so said and done it was right at $499/1000 rds after tax, which is cheap for 10mm.

Video was only to demonstrate that if it’s well built, it really makes no difference. No more than 15%accuracy loss after 20,000 rounds is a pretty significant mark to hit. Just shooting two groups in a row, the shooter would likely have more influence than 15%.

Since this thread started, my 1911 collection has grown a bit as you might imagine. I set out in Jan to rebuild after selling off a bunch. This is what I had left when the first Kimber showed up 3/10 3/24 3/25 5/6 5/24 Unfortunately I don’t have them all here to get the new pic with the...

I left this on the S&W forum last night concerning the 380 EZ. Thought you’d find it interesting. ——- I have ragged on this pistol for quite some time. I know of 6, 3 were mine that would not run reliably. Bought one in 2019, 2020 and 2021. I just bought another earlier this week and picked it...
