How many carry "old" 3rd gen pistols?

[BAM-BAM]

Hey BamBam bring that PC Shorty 9 out to my house on the 23rd to shoot a bit before we go up to the NE Ohio get together! email me for directions.

You can shoot the custom carry 4516, the 547, and 1013 in comparison.

The Black Pearl, melted and Melonited, silky smooth action, Big Dot Trigicon combat sights.

Perhaps the finest carry gun on the Planet. Four months in the making and at least 100 hours of painstaking craftsmanship went into this 4516-1. It doesn't get any better than this.

Well I'm usually on the road to Ohio about 6am to help set up........ but back to the Burgh about 5-6PM............ PM to follow.

EDIT: Your PM Box is full..................

And I'm going to leave it full ..

PM's are too much hassle to deal with, life is too short. Just send me an email if you want a private conversation. it's listed on my profile:

What time does the NE meet start? And ends early? Anyway I'd like to go to meet some of our fellows. How about a W. PA chapter, there are a few members in the 'Burgh I would imagine.

... only thing better than a 3rd Gen Compact 9mm for concealed carry is a 3" 66...... but that's a whole other story!

I'd like to hook up with you sometime just to fondle (and shoot) your PC9! I'd like to give your 66 a spin as well. Compare triggers with my 547's which is long and heavy, but smo0oth.

Not that I wouldn't press one of my too-few 3rd gens into whatever service was required. But I'd sooner accumulate holster wear and tear on an equally reliable, current production and easily replaceable firearm.

Carry and shoot the gun you want to carry and shoot....... do you buy a BMW ,Benz or Austin Martin you want..... to leave it in the garage...... while you drive a Yugo!


I don't think so...................................

Come on Bam! It's either Aston Martin or Austin Powers! You know that!

And what the Hell's wrong with a Yugo?

I do.

This message needs to be 10 characters. So much for pithy.

Other than my Coonan all my semi autos are 3rd generation.
I'm not carrying the Coonan.

Carry Whatever you like .. Just shoot it well ...

Go for what shoots best for you, and what you would trust your life on it working 100% of the time.

After all it's proficiency and a personal preference, in that order.

3913 tactical with rail, pistol only with 1 extra mag for 399. Get it?

That sounds like a great price to me.

Midwayusa has mags for sale.

I only got one with the Lady so bought 5 more from midway.

I recently picked up a 4563 TSW. If I could find some leather I would certainly carry it. Shooting it, I was pleasantly surprised as to its shooting characteristics. I had read online about people not liking the recoil of the aluminum framed .45s, but even with hot 230 grain Blazer ball and 230 grain Gold Dots, I found it to be quite manageable, with shot-to-shot times reasonable.

If I can find a holster that is comfortable and concealable, this guy is definitely going to get carried.

IIRC the rail can be removed by drilling the rivets...... should fit a 4566 holster.

Holsters for a railed Sig P220 will work with that 4563TSW. The leather ones anyways. Dont know about the Kydex ones. Regards 18DAI

 

[sigp220.45]

You guys with your new-fangled 3rd Gens!

I prefer the understated elegance of the 1st Gen. I carry this 39 dash-nada quite a bit.

 

[GaryS]

Yes. Great gun. The leather holster for the Sig 226R fits mine perfectly.

Update: It's the Gould and Goodrich B803, and is marked for the 229, not the 226. Although I've been told that it will fit either.

3913 tactical with rail, pistol only with 1 extra mag for 399. Get it?

3913 NL with Mitch Rosen Upper Limit holster. Right Hand. MY FAVORITE.

 

[Triggernosis]

John, is the Upper Limit holster molded specifically for the angled dust cover that the NL/LS have?

 

[ejfalvo]

Purchased a 457 with 3 mags for $350 a few years ago. i was carrying a XDs45 which i couldn't warm up to. The 457 is carried daily (unless Im wearing gym shorts - thens its the Sig p238). The 457 shoots great with any ammo - great decision.

They will make it for either the "standard" or the NL/LS model.
But yes, the holster I have is specific to the angled dust cover.

I Love My 457's ...

I still feel very comfortable carrying my 457 set up the same as the Black Pearl with Big Dot night sights. The second is in case something breaks on my primary.
