Sweet.
Cool! That's good to know, and as soon as I get through the magnum primer batch of ammo, I'll switch back out to the 11.5# springs. That also explains why when I did a trigger job on a S&W 66, it worked fine with 38spcl and had misfires on .357 Magnum ammo.
Just got back from the range. Man is that Sig a sweetheart! Didn't shoot it as well as I did the rental gun last weekend, but still shot it very well. Had a great time and it was awesome getting to spend some time with my Niece before she heads back to Virginia.
Beware the belt slide holster. I love belt slide holsters for their versatility and comfort. But, I realized my mistake last evening. I have a nice leather belt slide for my brand new PCR. It's very comfy. On a belt slide the muzzle is exposed. I was only slightly concerned about damaging the gun because, as a rule, I don't usually bump into things. What I didn't consider is the other side of the gun. I have been wearing this belt slide with the PCR in it for only a few weeks. In that time the rivet on my jeans has completely worn the finish off about a 3/4" x 3/4" square. I noticed it the other night. It is down to bare metal. This gun is only about a month or so old.
I have noticed this before as well. I don't remember which gun, but it had brass/copper marks all over it. I quit using that combo for carrying after that.

I'm in a happy place right now. I got a package full of CZ parts today, have the pre-B in the oven curing after getting a new coat of paint and there's a mystery gun coming on Tuesday. I really have no idea what I bought, but do know that it's an Israeli surplus CZ 75. I have no idea if it's a B, transitional or a pre-B. If it's a pre-B, I might see how I can tune it with only springs and existing parts. I compared the pre-B trigger to the CGW 85C trigger today and they are identical except for the stop screws in the CGW trigger. I think I can match the hammer angle and hook height as well as polish the sear. Or, I might just go the easy route and buy a bag of CGW goodies and have fun that way.

As most of you guys know I usually put Hogue finger grooves on all of my guns. Recently, I got my old milsurp 85 back from AllenM. He cerakoted it in Midnight Blue and it is really beautiful. So now I am considering putting some fancy wood grips on her. This is something that would have to happen down the road a bit as I have two fairly substantial commitments in the short term. Anyway, I am arguing with myself over this. I have expressed pretty strong opinions about grips in the past. I think a carry gun, which this will sometimes be, should have "shooting grips" not fancy "look at me grips". I suppose I could get them and change them out for special occasions. This is hardly an earth shattering dilemma but it's the kind of thing that I think about at oh dark thirty in the morning. I will post pictures of the 85 after the rebuild is complete.
Morning BA. I think the Hogue grips feel great in the hand and work out really well on the CZs. However they don't look the nicest. Which is most important, looks or feel?
I stumbled across these new Pacmayr checkered rosewood grips the other night for $23.99, they won't be in stock for a few more weeks, but look pretty sharp to me.

Wow, those are really nice, especially for the price.

5:30 in the morning and I have both safes open and am sorting through trying to decide what needs to be done before the get together. I need to get some foam to line the bottoms of a couple of ammo boxes for the .40 and .45 mags. Lots of gun cleaning to do. With my new spiffy gun box I will be able to take quite a few.
There is the sense of urgency to get stuff dialed in this week for sure. I have a small list of stuff to order. It doesn't help when all these companies are running Memorial Day specials and distracting me every 5 seconds. Oh look a squirrel.....
Yeah, temptation is strong but money is tight. Been struggling with whether I should sell a gun to loosen things up a bit but that is counter-productive. There really isn't anything I want to sell apart from the little one I have listed.
Honestly, I'm getting a bit bored with the market. I need to either take a break, or start viewing things differently. I'm finding it harder and harder to be thoroughly impressed with anything out there. I have a few things that I really enjoy: CZ, 1911, AR-15. Everything else lately is just kind of...meh. Seems like I keep dumping endless amounts of time and money into a gun, only to lose interest and end up selling it to move onto the next shiny thing. Maybe that's where the fun is? I'm figuring out a lot of things this year, just seems like a damn expensive process. Be easier if someone would just tell me what to do.
