The CZickness XIII: Lucky 13, we could all use some.

Uniqueness costs ! .... and CM is not satisfied with the mundane !

I'm typing this from my hammock. Mushrooms are scarce this year, and I wore myself plum out.... having found a bit over a pound in the last two days.

Next week, I'll go to the range. I'm happy that Point Blank has reopened.

As I said. Support of a specific platform is the spendy part. I had $3500 in the last 10mm custom and it is so worth every dime. The mags for it were $40 plus each. Then I see allen’s be custom 2011 and the started. Couldn’t sleep. Cold sweats. Shivering in a dark corner sucking my thumb.
So I make the trip out to his shop. We ordered the 2011 frame and will use the slide. I ordered the internals. Allen will fit the new frame. I will do the blending and fit up all the internals. Then back to him for some color after some mods to the slide.

This will be the most expensive piece I own. Close to $5500 in it but I have the frame (single stack 1911) and everything except a slide to build another 1911 in .45 ACP. It will be another full on custom.

Yes, I have a mental disorder.

1. Some lead by talking; some lead by example.
2. You are living the dream and showing the way.

1. I was there on the 30th, only 10 lanes, but I still got to stay 2 hours since I go right after work when "noone" is there.

Timing is everything !

Good range trip with 88 this morning. Had to test out the trigger on my backup P10c. The HBI triggers are easy enough that I replaced the trigger in both guns myself (which is saying a lot as I am NOT mechanically inclined at all). Looking forward to getting some training this year with these.

Partial to the red trigger!

What if he has passion, talent, AND a mental disorder?

Are you sure you meant to end in "?" and a "!"...we all should be good judges as we share the same mental (dis)order.

Put the 97B back up in the classy's. Hasn't seen the light of day in a while. Someone will get more enjoyment out of it than me. Have some other safe queens that deserve good homes, but waiting for demand to catch up with supply.

I still want it but there's a project ahead of that want. Dang it.

Thank you. I like it as well, though I like the tungsten one as well.

I have 2 of them and that one is interesting. But as usual I am ate up with ongoing projects.

If anyone is looking for a very unique surplus gun this is a great example to add to your collection.

Does anyone think this a good deal? I'm actually a KY resident and reside close to the seller. If I can do away with shipping and transfer fees, while only having to pay tax, I'm thinking it might be a decent pickup. I've wanted a project gun for a while (mainly just cerakote, minor parts) and this looks like it would fit my needs.

That just seems a bit spendy to me but no expert here. If it fits you need/desires then go after it. Any higher I would pass.

Sitting with the spouse and she is resting peacefully so I went looking. Found a nice 1911 slide on RemSport to fit up to the single stack frame I am taking off of the new 10mm piece. This will keep me occupied building up another gun on that frame in .45 ACP.

The 10mm will be a dedicated 2011.

Best wishes for the spousal unit CM. Sounds like another .45 project is just the ticket to keep you busy until she can resume keeping an eye on you.

Hehehehehe.....

I finished up the parts ordering tonight. When the slide gets here we will fit it up to the custom frame. Then let allen chuck it up in the Mill.
I think it will get the Comped barrel from my EDC TRP. The TRP is the Sheriffs special. I will put the original barrel back in it.

You are right Tim, I need the diversion.

 

[mcapo]

Been eying the TRP 10 mm...wish it was non-railed.

I like the rail. Just me I guess but the new 2011 will have some chin to it.

 

[mcapo]

Oh...I don't dislike the rail...and...I stand corrected...
