I think you should fill that gap with liquid polyurethane or something.

When you are in action, the handle edge has a higer amount of stress concentration due to your gripping force. Your skin is going to sink into that gap.

Next step is getting some course G10 and redoing the scales..

Got rid of my LC9S for something with more capacity.

Snatched up this used 3rd gen a couple months ago and am loving it.

I also have gotten into making 1911 grips.

My first pair, on the gun. Wood is Ipe.

What better excuse for whittling a little on the front porch
That Glock 26 look so damn small like a baby gun, the M1911 are much more what i like.
But i have to agree it is a damn big gun to carry concealed when you are a 6 foot 3inches and the build of a skeleton, the 26 would probably be much better, and back then 9X19 was also much more easy to procure than 45ACP.


Man i wish i lived a place where i could carry a gun or at least just own one and go shoot it now and then, and this time around legally.

[RANOVRU]

Another Glock. Does this make me a "fanboy"?

1. You're nuts for cutting up an expensive Spyderco knife!
2. It looks excellent as it is!
3. I can't wait to see the scales complete. How do you plan on doing it?

Amazing weather here in the mountains today, so we got out to do some shooting. Went through 180 clay pigeons, a bunch of 9 & 10mm, and some 5.56.

Ringing steel with the G26



Making fireballs with the 8.5" 5.56



And finally, a PSA/Safety bulletin. BEWARE of the Winchester USA Forged ammo from Wally World. I had my G43 have it's first issue ever. The round had fired, but the gun was locked up tight. Cased it for the rest of the day, and had to disassemble the slide, remove the barrel, and use a brass rod to drive the round out of the chamber with a hammer. The culprit? Split case.

[Brake Weight]

Good to know that. Don’t have any but do buy the cheap white boxes for plinking around. Try to stay all brass on my autos except the AK. It can be fixed with a hammer...and sickle.

[JatoTheRipper]

That's scary. Did you contact Winchester?

I don't use steel ammo. Winchester white box is one of my practice rounds though.

[hpiguy]

I was pretty pissed off when I figured out what had happened. I haven't contacted them, but I will be doing so for sure. I generally run the white box stuff also. This is how bad it was. Again, gun was locked up tight, I couldn't rack it or do anything because the casing was wedged into the striker. I had to disassemble the slide and pull the striker out then drive the casing out of the chamber. Close call for sure.

[hpiguy]

Work and life have finally slowed down a bit, so I've been getting the airguns back out. I think with my makeshift rest, this is about all I can do. Time to up my game and put my portable shooting table in the kitchen I suppose.

And I'm going to say this yet again; airguns are EXCELLENT training tools to have at your disposal.

Five shot group at 10m, remember the pellet is 4.5mm (Yes, I need to adjust my turrets now). The first three were one neat hole, damn flyers.



Just to show there's no funny business going on

[skybolt]

Just assembled my first AR pistol in 5.56, really happy so far!

Indoor airgunning is serious business I tell ya.

[Peaker]

Seem new FX airgins are hitting airguns AZ now or soon.



Im so liking the Dream lite with a little mods ( tatical ) on it.








I an thinking .177 for plinking short range ( that's all that are legal here )
And then get a .25 barrel kit for the harder hitting / longer range stuff, becuz i don't give a damn and 2 groups of idiots have ruined the law on this matter.

[hpiguy]

One of these days I'm going to pick up a higher end air rifle. .25cal is definitely appealing for the power, but as long as I'm hand pumping my guns, I'll stick to .22cal max. More shots per fill, easier to find and cheaper ammo cost, etc. And .22 is more than capable on any pests that I'd take with an air rifle anyway. I can own whatever I want over here, but lots of pumping for only 10 shots would get old fast. My Challenger pictured above is the perfect plinker. Pump for a few minutes then sit back and run 100 shots, and repeat.

[Peaker]

As you might know, the FX smooth twist barrels only have rifling on the last few inched of the barrel, and that is pressed into the barrel from the outside.
They are far from the popular conventional Lothar Walther barrels.


The new X barrels do have rifling all the length of the barrel, but it is still pressed into the barrel from the outside.

My employer always gives me an Amazon gift card for my birthday, so I bought a new toy with it. And, I finally got around to taking the time to fully adjust the trigger on the 10m air rifle. If you throw a shot, it's your own damn fault!
