SW1911PD Gunsite Edition

I bought two used 58 while living in San Antonio. Neither marked SAPD. My father did buy a used parkerized 870 Magnum Wingmaster used by the SAPD and gave that to me, its not marked either. CD

Some more info from Ian. Glock Meets 1911: The Alchemy Arms Spectre – Forgotten Weapons CD

Mystery answered as a Alchemy Arms Spectre .45. New question is how did it get to Abu Dhabi UAE? Alchemy Arms Spectre | Gun Wiki | Fandom CD

Does anyone recognize the barrel manufacture? Been sitting in a desk drawer in UAE for the last 7 yrs till given to me this week. .45 ACP marking similar to Brownells but don't know logo. No other markings. CD

Picked up a 6" 19-5 in trade. Have had several 3"-4" K frames in the past but never a 6". Gun was parked sometime in past and inherited a set of VZ10 grips. Shown with 4" 58 and 2" 442 Pro. CD

Haven't had any issues with the M1911A1. Did have issues with the M9 and CheckMate magazines during GW1. This was a known issue the rough finish on the inside and outside. Sand with the roughness would bind the follower inside the magazine. Uncle stipulated that way as a cost saving measure...

Have carried Colt and Remington Rand M1911A1s. I grew up on the 1911 carrying cocked and locked and will always take a reliable 1911 over a 9mm. Afghanistan 2014, Remington Rand and Glock 19 CD

Been a while since I"m out of the loop OCONUS but surplus Beretta mags were $10 ea. Once modified they can still be used in the Beretta. Beretta mags can also be cut for the SIG 226/228 as they also use the same body. CD CD

My EDC is either on me or next to bed at night. Long guns are in the safe (or on rack down range), mag inserted/tube loaded, safety off and chamber clear. If patrolling ie carrying long gun then round is already chambered and on safe. My routine for decades. CD

Whatever Uncle allows me to carry. This is in addition to whatever rifle or machine gun/grenade launcher I'm carrying also. In the past it's been M1911A1 M9 M9 with KAC suppressor G19 G17 SIG 226 CD

Here's a trick I learned in Afghanistan. Since acquiring one SW9VE with only one mag needed more mags of course. Cutting a new notch above a plentiful Beretta M9/92 mag allows them to work without issue. Floor plate does line up however but functions 100%. Hope this helpful. CD

Enjoyed getting in a weekend of hunting last month while on leave. CD

Link didn't open for me so don't know the details. Non Lethal may have been chosen due to the chance of over penetration/shot angle to the dog. CD

Back in the late 80s I picked up a 4" 651 to go along with my 5.5" Single Six convertible and Marlin 783. Loved the performance of the .22 WMR but as with life only still have the Ruger. CD

RIP Bob. CD

The 130 gr FMJ .38 Special as mentioned was the US armed forces issue .38 ammo for decades. Just a bit more then the old .38 Long Colt that the Army deemed unsuitable against the Moors in the Philippines. Which led to the .45 ACP. CD

Left Afghanistan last month after nearly 4 straight years contracting there. Always loved the A10s flying overhead. F16s doing low level passes on afterburner are LOUD. CAS saved my ODA during GW1. CD

Had a gunsmith friend of mine back in the early 90s that we swapped frames. He wanted a fix sighted .44 Mag and had a 4" M29. I had a second 4" M58. He filed down a the front sight of that 4" M29 barrel and built up a front sight on my 4" M58 barrel. Henry is still listing 4 models of .41...
