The Czickness XI: Fulcrum Trigger Blues.

Just the RAMI or P-01 frame. I had my doubts that the bare metal would be a good looking finish without some blasting.

I brought an SP01 Tactical home tonight. I left a PPK/S at the LGS in exchange (plus cash from me) and don't feel bad about letting the PPK/S go. It was bought as an anniversary gun when we hit our 25th. That was also right when our marriage went through a really rough patch and that gun has always reminded me of the worst of the days, so I'm not sorry to let it go. When I picked up Shiny from T-Dogg, it was to commemorate out 35th anniversary, which are in much happier times.

Apparently, I have no idea what PPK/S's are worth as when asked what I wanted, I said $400 in trade. He offered $450, saying that PPKs are increasing in value lately. That's why I like to do business at The Outdoorsman. Good people there.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the SP01 other than Cajunize it eventually and shoot it a bunch. It fills no need but I'm happy to bring it home anyway.

I know I've said this before, but right now, I think I'm done with buying guns. There is nothing I want right now. Nothing. I've toyed with getting a 97B, but I really prefer sending .45 downrange with a 1911. I don't want, nor need another CZ in .40 and I have more 9mm pistols than I want to have, so I'm done. If I buy another gun of any type (other than a P10C in .40) before the year is out, I'll go a solid month without shooting. I have not done that in 8 years. The P10C is a special case for me as it might let me reduce the G***k count by one.

I might have to get some of that aircraft paint stripper that was in the link BA posted. I wonder if the metal would look any good after that or if it would really need to be blasted for the texture.

Use aluminum oxide medium and just blast it. Thats what I have in my cabinet.

Good deal 88!! Glad you got what you wanted, its a great feeling for sure.

I'd use glass beads if he's wanting to leave it bare.

The beads would not leave much texture if that is what he is seeking.

Just hopped over to czfirearms and had a question..how are BA and the wizard not mods for the CGW and gunsmithing forums? Besides schmecky, I can't imagine many people have a whole lot more experience in either area.

I don't know what I'm looking for....I know I want it bare. Rusty inspired me

New sig line?

New sig line?

That is unfortunate. It didn't even register as anything to be worried about as I typed it. I guess I'm slipping.

Rusty is confused.... And it has to do with carry guns, not which restroom to use this time...

I think you've been the strongest so far. I have a feeling that's gonna change after Friday.

Where was this last week? I got a safety version for more money! Oh well, I think I'll end up liking the safety just as much if not more.

Being a Mod is not all that cool sometimes.
