The Czickness XI: Fulcrum Trigger Blues.

[RustyHornet]

WOW. That's cool. I appreciate hard work and craftsmanship in any form. That type of engraving is a dying art.

Hey, I know that we're not supposed to talk G***ks here, but while surfing GB for the fabled cheap CZ slides, I ran across a complete NIB 10mm slide assy for $360. I am thinking that instead of spending the $130 on a conversion barrel for a G21, this might make more sense in that I'd have a complete G20/21 to shoot in whatever way I wanted.

Ah, another fun evening on INGO in progress. He CM, did you see that engraved 1911 over on 1911Addicts.com? Most of the folks are making fun of it since it's a little on the fancy side, but if you take a good look at the engraving, it's quite the work of art. I would bet that there's hundreds of hours spent doing full relief engraving on that. Sure, it might be a bit on the fancy side, but if you take a real close look at the engraving, it's beautiful. Talk about craftsmanship...

It's just too bad that it's not in .40

Yeah I did not make fun of it but Ugh.
Yes, it is well done.

I'll admit that the gold kind of loses me, but the engraving is really beautiful. Throw a better set of grips on it and get rid of the gold plate and that would be a beautiful heirloom gun. Now, at almost 6 grand, it would never even have a chance of happening, but I do admire the workmanship that goes into the engraving.

I was toying with getting that G***k slide for my G21 until I ran the numbers. A NIB G20sf runs $518 and comes with two mags. That slide would have been $376 plus $10 for shipping. Add two mags at about $30 each, and I'd have $446 into it, or in other words, I'd be just $72 short of just getting the second gun. Now, I know myself enough to know that if I picked up that slide, and then saw a complete frame for $120, I'd jump on it. At that point, I'd be well over what I could have just bought a second pistol for anyway. And, since the G20sf's are not in short supply, there's no need to jump on something without thinking it through. Time is not of the essence here.

Enought G talk. I need to go to bed, where there will be a CZ on the nightstand next to me.

CZ's strategically located.
One coming home very soon. It might get rotated into the HD system.

Lucky for you. Cat woke me up at 3am and I dozed off and on until he woke me up again at 4:30. Been up since...

Morning everyone.

 

[88E30M50]

Morning everyone!

 

[RustyHornet]

Still considering letting the RAMI go. Love the gun, don't think I have a use for it anymore and I have some other projects I'd really like to get done.

I've been thinking the same thing about my RAMI. Mine's been with me for quite a while but it just doesn't see much use.

 

[canterbc]

You guys are killing me! A month ago you would have had an instant buyer. I finally gave in and paid more than I should have to get one. Even with it being a soft market right now, im sure somebody will want to scoop up a RAMI or two.

 

[llh1956]

Good morning all!

I wish I had the ability to let a gun go that easy. Once the magic is gone, it should be easier to let it go than it is for me. I've gotten better, but there are still some guns that I'd really have trouble parting with even though they've been in the safe for a while. Then again, I suffer from multiple-gun-personality disorder. No matter what platform I've settled on, fairly quickly, I'm looking at something different. I do have it down to 3 platforms and it seems to be holding at that level.

 

[Birds Away]

I can wait until Rusty sells his. I don't need the money for anything, I'm just bored.

I will think about this for the day, at the end if I still am ok with parting with it. Up she goes. My car needs some more comfortable seats for the driving season...
