The CZickness IX Intervention

[canterbc]

My only shotgun is an 870 Wingmaster circa 1974. It is well worn in and the action is as smoothe as butter. Like maan said, not great for clays. It works but not ideal. I shoot clays probably once a week so an upgrade would be nice. An over under would be nice for that.

I sold a circa 1986 Wingmaster 870 last year to a buddy. Loved that gun, but he wanted it more... I no longer have a place to shoot a shotgun, so it doesn't make sense for me, even though I love shooting them... I really miss my old Ithaca 37, sold that one earlier this year to an INGOer.

The older Wingmasters are just awesome, especially when they have been used a lot. My parents own some property that is large enough to do some shooting on so it's easy for me to just hop over there when I get the itch to blow stuff up.

Hey, back from the range. Cold would be an apt description of the morning's theme. I planned on running through 150 rounds, with 100 in .40 and 50 in .45 but ended up doing 50 and 25 before I decided to pack it in. The 50 rounds through the P07/40 with the new mag were flawless though. More range trips like that and it will earn it's way into a holster. I decided to shoot the K2 and the G21 to get a feel for how they compare, both being big bore, big capacity .45s. The K2 shot very well, but overall, I shot the G21 much much better. The G21 has some trigger mods as well as a SS guide rod and heavier recoil spring, so maybe that's what makes it feel good, but it has near zero recoil. The K2 is nice, but the G21 feels like shooting a 9mm through a full size steel 75B. All were shot with gloved hands and thank God for big trigger guards.

Rusty, Birds enjoys doing it himself, and you still need to be working on the color for the Rami frame.

 

[RustyHornet]

BA, what colors have you used thus far? I struggle picking out colors unless I can see them in person. Hard to decide on the interwebs.

Don't come looking for a hug from this direction. You know how I feel about those.

I am thinking about just leaving her nekked.

Good to hear different opinions on the K2, I thought it shot like a 22.

Oh, on a side note, I am really liking the Talon rubber grip tapes on the P07. They don't make them for the early P07, which both of mine are, so I ordered the mid size strap grip tapes and only needed to put a relief cut in the back strap piece to get an otherwise perfect fit. Before the grip tape, the gun depended on an aggressive texture for grip where as now, it is just all naturally grippy.

There are advantages. It's aluminum, so rust isn't an issue. If something happens to ding it up, just take it and blast it, easy fix. That plus it looks pretty darn good the way it is!

Yes sir!

 

[GregD]

Yes Rusty, it does look good!

Black ones look funny to me now.

Almost as if they still have their shipping coating on and are just waiting to be blasted clean.

We were still talking guns right?
