Actually, I'm more of a snob jerk.

I have no sign for this.....

I'm pretty sure that's discrimination.

I hope to be able to meet with you sometime soon. Would like to get you involved in more of what we do. Need more people reppin the Fort!

That would be great. I would like to meet you but I don't have any dresses and I thought they were mandatory to be part of the Fort crew.

Clothing is optional.

The thing I love about this thread is that it's pretty much open to anyone that wants to participate. There are a few caveats though. If you've met face to face a couple of times and know each other well, making fun of each other is Ok. If you are new to the group and don't have much background, you have to be careful. Think of it like that analogy of a bank account when discussing relationships. You have to put something in before you can make a withdrawal without incurring a penalty. BA, CM and others can allude to my being an idiot when I overthink an issue (a withdrawal) and I don't mind because they've been great in so many ways before (deposits) that their accounts are well funded. Now, if a newbie points out my idiocy as their first interaction, I might just take offense.

This thread is fueled by mutual respect. If someone jumps in and starts making fun of people without doing much to build a rapport, then yes, they'll probably feel like an outsider until they do add a bit. Think of it being a bit like the barber shop scene in 'Grand Torino'.

Oh, and the bar is pretty high now days. At a recent get together, I brought an '88 pre-B that's got a full Cajun Pro kit, polishing, SAO conversion and carbon fiber grips. The trigger breaks right at 2# and it was completely ignored. I'm not grumbling at all, but when there's a feast on the table, some tasty bits gets looked past unless they are pointed out. The thing about that gun is that there were a dozen on the table just as nice, if not nicer. It did not stand out in any way, so it was overlooked by everyone including me. The bar is high enough that it almost takes a Tilted Kilt girl holding a gun to get any attention.

I was going with Tesla, but you're older than I am.

This post should be required reading for the entire internet. Relationships take a little time.

I cut it and posted in the rep. points thread.
I agree. It should be mandatory reading.

As you can see it's a stainless Loaded model. Was bought used by our buddy T-DOGG several years ago at a LGS, last fall he decided that he had to get rid of it because he wasn't gonna carry it. I was interested, but had just sold off all my 1911's, mags and 45 ammo because I was consolidating. He sold it to the mouse man who did some work on her, then BA decided he had to have it, he then decided that it wasn't for him, mouse bought it back, then decided he didn't need two stainless Springers. I got it from him, after knowing the gun when it was stock and how tight the frame to slide fit is I just couldn't let it go. She is now my carry piece and the only way it will leave me is if it goes back to the DOGG.



Shes sexy and shes a runner. Runs hard and fast. I am making slight changes to her so she fits me better for carry.

If I may intervene just for a short period to ask INGO's speed racer a question, why did you decide to carry the full size instead of the Champion? I mean they both have been touched by Speedway's finest tuner.

The Champ just didn't carry well for me. I carry appendix and felt the 5" barrel better helped stabilize the gun and hold the grip closer to my body. That and I just spent some time fondling both together and the Loaded just felt like it became part of me. Oh and I've become a 1911 snob, anything shorter than a 5" barrel is just wrong.

Got me some new grips today!!! Black cherry slim line VZs with super swoop. Love them!
