FINAL ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION - FOR NOW

[terdog]

I can't wait to see the holster you're gonna put that thing in with the scope mounted. Gonna go IWB?
Enjoy your trip to Glacier, you're right in my back yard.

I would just shove it in my pants but that area is already full. LOL

I have a Ruger Match Champion and it's very nice.

I have a match champion in 357 Magnum and you are right. They are nice. Have you done anything about replacing the sights?

I have not. I haven't had it long and only took it to the range once so far

.357 sig is not a .357 magnum!

9x25 is not .357 Sig.

I put some high viz fully adjustable sights on my wife's GP100 after finding out that they don't fit my Match Champion.

I'd really like to find some that fit.

Damn you Ruger!

My Match Champion came with a hi-viz front sight. Look at Rugers accessory site, they probably sell them.

It's been a few months but I have called them and asked them about adjustable sites. They don't offer any at that point. But I appreciate the thought.

Holy cow! I didn't know Springfield ever made a 10 mm in a long slide. That thing is cool! Great score!

Please tell me it came in safely and FedEx didn't screw up the shipment. Ya never know with those guys.

 

[terdog]

On time and in like new condition.

The words "final addition" precludes any attempt to take you serious.

Hence ... "FOR NOW"

Nice. For me, I always have the "this is the final thing I need" moment. And then I come in the forum and suddenly there is something else I need.

I gotta get me a 10mm 1911
Sucks the Tisas gave you trouble.

I may go the RIA route myself.

The TRP series is about as good as it gets for a production 1911. I've heard nothing and I mean nothing bad about them.

IT WASN'T THE TISAS.
It was the Girsan. My dealer had nothing but praise for the Girsans that he'd sold. But mine was the 1st HUNTER 6" that he had in his shop.
In my experience, I'd say go for it, but insist that it comes from the wholesaler Davidson's.
Their LIFETIME GUARANTEE saved my butt.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you can swing it, go with a DAN WESSON.

They ain't cheap, but the quality is the best production gun I know of, and very apparent from the moment it hits your hand.

Heres me shooting my 4.25" VBOB with some HOT Underwood Dangerous Game loads.

This is my 2nd go with this model. I sold the 1st 1after 2 weeks.
The gun was good, but that's when they came out with the CMMG BANSHEE 10MM.

I wanted that so I sold the TRP.

I would have to say that in my experience, DAN WESSON is by far the best production 1911.

The BANSHEE is fantastic, but now I have both.

My apologies. All the Turkish stuff blends together. But I do know I was eyeing the one you had picked up. I've heard hit and miss stories but I'm with you, if I pick up a 10mm, 1911 it's gotta be the 6" model to better take advantage of the 10mm cartridge.

I have had great luck with my RIA Tac 1911 double stack in 10mm. It has never had any issues aside from flinging brass so far you loose a few. 17+1 is a lot of meat protection!

The wife and I are on vacation in Whitefish Montana right now. Doing Glacier National Park. I picked up" BIG BABY" on our way out of town.
I've been dying to break her in, but we've been doing the Park thing. We did a motorcycle ride around Flathead Lake today, and had some time left in the day, so SHE suggested we get some range time.
Called Cabelas and got a suggestion on a local spot in the woods.
I did a field cleaning with some Hoppes CLP.
She is definitely a virgin!
