Just got pics from my gunsmith. She is complete and on her way to get refinished. I am really excited and wanted to share. Pics are in my gallery

What exactly did your gun smith do?

I had a Tactical II, I really like the features.

With an Aluminum frame she would walk after 60 rounds. I should have bought the TCE with a steel frame.

I traded her in on a Sig Granite Revolution.

Brother in law just bought a .45 Kimber at the gun show a couple of weeks ago. Very nice gun: I prefer my Combat Commander though.

Very nice
brutus. I have had mine about 10 years. Love it. Best performing .45 I have ever owned. Dennis:)

I have a ceramic vest with twice the slab thinkness to stop a .45 at point blank range. Only works if you get shot in the vest though.

Haven't shot in decades, and I'm not interested in big caliber bores or stopping power, just an easily handled and ACCURATE pistol for the range.
Last time I was out, maybe 1986, a friend had a 'lil .22 (might have been a Ruger?) and I loved crossing the T's and dotting the I's with it.
Any suggestions?

Better use explosive tipped rounds 'cause otherwise all you'll do is piss 'em off.

The day I run from Angry Paper Targets is the Day I trade Scotch for Beer!

:lol:

I'm looking for an accurate target shooter, man! I start firing explosives at paper, and I'm a candidate for the loony bin :D

And yet supposedly more people are killed by a 22.

I have shot several Glocks. I like the way they shoot. I can't find one that feels right in my hand.

Buy a Glock? I already have 4 of them. Don't think the wife would like a 5th.
