I need to actually run the CopperHead. I need to become happy with it.
You need a solid day at the range with just you, the CopperHead and a big box of ammo. There's nothing like a long day at the range with only one gun to promote bonding. You have all the pieces necessary to build a relationship with the CopperHead and only need time with it to make it happen. If you still have not bonded with the gun after a long range day, I know someone that will give you tree fiddy for it.
This is true. If you get that face mask, your operator points will go up my 2. I should have remembered rubber gloves yesterday, usually wear them under regular gloves, helps keep the body heat in...
That's odd. I had figured you to be someone that always has a set or two of rubber gloves in his pocket just in case an opportunity to use them comes up.
Give the black rear sight a try. I did that on my Remington and like it a lot that way. The CZ 1911 came with blacked out front and rear sights, so all I had to do was paint the front sight and it's good now too. If you don't like it, you're only a bit of fingernail polish away from restoring it.
