Gun and knife pic?
Part of my collection - flame away!! :lmao:


On a more serious note, I did just pick up this unfired gem - Ruger SR1911 9mm LW commander.
Found on a local forum classified, seller turned out to be my neighbor!

No flaming here. Enjoy what you got. Like the 1911.

People can flame 1911 owners all they want. They're a nifty gun, work well (especially if you're not weak wristed), and are a hoot to shoot just like most other guns.

PS: Fudds, laugh all you want. It's still fun.

I love my 1911's.
I thought I'd be flamed for the Raven, honestly the rusty fish knife scares me more!!

I'm not gonna flame anybody for anything 2A related. Could you own something better? Sure. But if that one works, then so be it. "thumbsup"

Lord knows, I've had my share of cheap stuff in my lifetime.

No guns here, though I'd love a Ruger Mark IV 22/45!

I DO however have the exact same desk pad as you do, and a ton of collectible one-hand-opening pocket knives..."thumbsup"

So my Stepdad passed about a year and a half ago. My Mom texts me the other and says, I was cleaning out closets and found a gun. Okay, what is it? So she sends me a picture of this Norinco 1911. I take it home, give it a good tear down and ultrasonic cleaning, and put her back together. Take it back to Mom, and she can’t rack the slide, tells me to just keep it. I’ve got some grips ordered, will probably put a beavertail on it, and somewhere around here there’s a box of 1911 goodies. Now if I can just remember where I put it.

Picked up some Pachmayr grips too. I hate plastic grips. Need to check extractor tension, adjust if necessary, then hit the range and see if she's a shooter.

I like knives. In the 80s I gave this craftsman 3 drawer toolbox to my dad as a father's day gift (well my mom did). A few years ago I cleaned it up to hold them. Here is the top drawer that is mostly knives I carry from day to day. I've become partial to Spyderco as I tend to buy local and they are in Golden despite favoring many overseas models they design and have produced. At one point I tried many different steel compositions but have settled on lc200 for it's resistance to corrosion and holding an edge decently for my uses. Desk jockey job allows me to keep them well cared for with little (ab)use

Added another Benchmade to the collection with my birthday gift cards.

Brownells got me with a good sale. So for under $200, I have the slim high capacity warm weather carry gun I’ve been wanting. I've had the G43 long before the P365 and the like came out.



SCT 43x SC frame

Glock internals

Factory Glock 43 slide assembly

Shield Arms mag release

Shield Arms S15 mags



Same length as my 43 with a Tango Down +2, same width, but 15+1. Need to hit the range and put a bunch of ammo through it to torture test it.

I put the baby Glock through it's paces this weekend. Flawless for 250rds. This is three mags (45rds) rapid fire at 7yds.



Baby Glock, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Given this is the caption for a photo of all those shots, it seems psychotic. Hilarious!

Public indoor range. They don't replace the backers near often enough.

That paper plate is definitely dead.

1911's are machines and works of art from a bygone era. They sure appeal to me.

My other hobby just happens to be fixing and using old Singer sewing machines and I'd have one of the 1911's made from them for sure ... doubt me pockets would be deep enough to buy one though Have to agree ... appeal to me also for same reasons

We have these pre-WWII Acme-Gridley screw machines at work. If you're bored, look them up. They make old sewing machines look dead simple by comparison. They are machines that are works of art in their mechanicalness. The engineers that designed these are geniuses.

Cheers Jato, anything old and mechanical makes me smile ... will be check it out for sure over a coffee Part of the appeal of the old machines is the simplicity when you break them down ... and still works flawlessly decades laters

agreed with these old mechanical machines ... they were true marvelous things that did not need to operate via computer but pure mechanical and electrical systems. Almost 100 years later still operating and manufacturing.
