Done in the garage for the day. Tomorrow I'll be doing optic cuts for a Leupold Deltapoint Pro on both 2011 guns.

I just finished up too, almost ready to send the Ronin to AllenM for cerakote.

If he wants it before 30 days +shipping time they aren't the one. If he can wait then they will deliver.

They literally mean this.
Need it soon? We’re not your Huckleberry. Our shipments can take up to 30 days.

Yep, I'm not in a rush currently anyway and may look at some of the locals as I wouldn't mind seeing one in person. I'm by no means a guru in 1911 but would be nice to see how well it's fit up, etc. This isnt the normal plastic fantastic that I'm usually buying (except my SA-35's).

I've dropped a few $$$ lately on some house stuff, daughters grad school tuition for the semester, and other pop up expenses so not exactly going out of my way to drop cash, but if I find a great deal I won't let it fly by either.

I'm going to talk to a local company called Franke Plating. They are an authorized Cerakote dealer and located in Fort Wayne about 15 minutes from me.

I'm not sure on that. I have never used them for anything before.

Stepson found this in some of his dad’s stuff. Don’t know much about S&W revolvers. Maybe someone here can enlighten me.

Wife and me are at a fund raiser tonight for

Thanks!!

I read an article today about people getting stuck in their new electric Fiskars because the key fob went wacky.

Gramaw was a seamstress and had some 'lectric Fiskars to cut fabric with.

Hard to tell from the picture. I look and see a 2 and then look again and see an 8.

38 S&W Special. Only markings on the butt is numbers.

38 S&W Special. Only markings on the butt is numbers.

38. Good.

The left side pins locations are unique to few models.

The frame appears to be 1st Model M&P aka 1899 Army Navy.

Interestingly, though, the barrel appears to be a 1902/1905 style with the ejector rod locking lug which the 1st model didn’t have.

Could be a late production 1st Model with a 2nd model barrel or a parts gun.

Or it could be something else. lol

What’s the serial number? Text me if you don’t want it online.

A little bit of fine tuning tomorrow and i'll call this project good.

 

[MindfulMan]

I don't care about the numbers ...... I just love the pearl grips @
Grips make the gun !

Too bad. Numbers matter. lol

It’s appears to be a 1902 2nd Model M&P Hand ejector produced in 1903-04.

Probably carried by more police officers than that plastic brand….

Well, to tell truth, I had the same thought about my yard but don't have a lawn mower anymore.

Next thing you know, you won't have a car either. Just a driver to pick you up.
