Cool New grips for my 10MM

As many of you will recall, not too long ago I posted some photos of the 10MM Longslide I built for myself. The project started because STI was blowing out these 6" 40S&W slides.



Shortly after finishing this firearm, I had read a post on some Forum(not sure which) of somebody referring to his/her new 40 as the Hammer of Thor. Well they were switching from a 9MM so I guess it felt powerful.

I am a fan of Norse mythology. So, I got to thinking, if I were Thor, I would want to be launching bigger slugs at higher velocity than what a 40 is capable of.

I had also been wanting to do something a bit more then the Ahernds grips I had put on the longslide.







Here is how it ended up.



I like it.

Anyone else like it?

No, I'd put the Ahrends back on. Thanks.

Kind of unusual pistol with unusual grips. I like it.

That bad boy looks like something Schwarzenegger would be wielding in one of his movies. Carried in a shoulder holster of course.

I'll take it.

I love it as 10mm is one of my favs. They may think their .40 is the "Hammer of Thor" but you've got the Finger of God.
