Been a while since I posted mine. The evolution from how it began, to what it is now. When I first bought it: After the first refinish (blast and blue): After second refinish and current configuration: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The evolution of my 4” 28-2 Was a drunken (at least buzzed) gunbroker purchase. I figured it’d be a damn shame to let a good gun suffer. I bought it with plans to have it cleaned up. I had it a few months and decided I wanted to have it reblued. Sent it to a place a couple of hours from the...

SOLD I have a pair of Ahrends Tactical N frame grip for a square butt smokewagon. Wood is bubinga, and these have been on my model 28 for a year or so. They look great, but I'm slowly realizing I prefer Pachs (please don't judge me ) and I don't have much need for them. Probaby shot them 6...

OP, I recently went through the same thing with a model 28. Bought off gunbroker, it was spray painted tan and black. Truly ugly as sin, lots of rust and pitting. I sent it to a semi local place where they bead blasted and reblued it. It was still pitted and scratched pretty good, but it was...

Yep, same here with a seven rounder. First time out (and I want to say early in the session, probably 6 or so compression cycles) and it failed. I had similar issues with an m&p45. CD sent me 6 new mag springs and followers. My guess is they use more than one supplier for small parts, and...

I thought all HP's came with magnas, but I'm sure someone with more knowledge can correct me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've not had great luck with the conversion barrels I've had. I picked up an apex semi drop in barre for my 40 3 weeks ago. So far with about 550 rounds through it with 5 fte and 1stovepipe. The storm lake I had a few years ago would fte/ stove pipes at about a 5% rate. If I were you, I'd get...

The upper has nothing to do with the mag safety; why would they distinguish it from any other one? That's dope they're offering this; price is a little high compared just buying a full gun, but i imagine they're offering these for users that want to build their ultimate M&P *edit* actually...

I'm waiting on a custom carry concept uno and ordered the CE until it comes. I ran drills with it on Sunday and was surprised at how decent it is. Like mentioned, it's a little sharp, but not terribly so, and I always wear a Nike compression shirt or wife beater underneath my shirt so that...

Ever thought of getting a nickel cylinder (saw one on eBay a few weeks ago for $60 or so) and making your own 3.5" pinto? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oops, sorry

It was BAAAAD. I sent it out a few months ago to have it bead blasted and blued; guy said there wasn't too much he do with it. Took it to a local smith to fix the rear sight. Told me he could fix it no problem, but it was ugly as sin. Said he could send it out to someone that would make it look...

Isn't melonite an electrochemical process that gets into the metal vs just on the metal? If so, I'd imagine you couldn't remove the melonite, just the resulting color. Of course, (or at least according to my wife) I could be and probably am wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
