Found this – Totally Forgot About It – OOPS!

Was digging through one of the lock boxes and found this red box . . .

The receipt puts it at August of 2019 – not only did I forget about it but I don’t even remember it . . .

Sig p232 SL . . .

Pawed through my notes – sure as Hell – I bought it! – the original owner put 2 mags through it – just didn’t like it – put it up and forgot about – I put 4 mags through it and my notes claim one of the mags doesn’t like to feed very well – I sure don’t remember it – Oh Well – if I get time I’ll stick a post together on it and give you folks a look at it . . .

Thinking about it I vaguely remember it – but I don’t remember why I didn’t do a post on it at the time – LOL! . . .

Ain’t real sure what I’m gonna do with a pristine Sig P232 SL with less than 50 rounds through it – I sure don’t remember what my thinking was when I bought it – I’ll figure something out . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

My New Cimarron is . . .

A Cimarron Nickel 1911 – Sweet Stuff – and in God’s chosen caliber as brought to us by Saint Browning – .45 ACP (LOL) . . .

Fancy grips ( plastic – ugh ) – and a muzzle brake . . .

The factory grips and barrel bushing and 7 round mag DID NOT come with it – plus side to that – it came with a Wilson Combat 8 round magazine . . .

Of course I changed the recoil spring and guide rod to a Wilson Combat from Brownell’s – and threw the buffer away – this makes a noticeable difference in the recoil impulse . . .

Enough Barbra Streisand Bruce – How’s it shoot??

Brought it up twice just to see how the sight picture – target picture – grip – alignment thing was looking – it was good – I dumped the magazine – It’s a Keeper!!

This next one?? – I guess slow fire is a relative thing – to me slow fire is sight alignment and bang – right at one round per second – it works . . .

Next is 3 – 8 round magazines – dump the mag and drop – fresh mag – dump the mag and drop – fresh mag – dump the mag – drop the mag out – 24 rounds in about 21 seconds – including mag changes – be loving me some 1911 . . .

I polished the muzzle brake to get the mat finish look up to more of a polished look and ordered some new grips and grip screws for it from Wicked Grips – I will give you folks a good look under the hood and a look at the grips next week – they are too cool . . .

Good Looker – Eh? . . .

Just one question at this point Bruce – Yes . . . Cimarron – the cowboy gun seller “King” – A friggin 1911??

They ( Cimarron ) started marketing the 1911 when SASS started “The Wild Bunch” division – if you <<<GO HERE>>> you can scroll down and download the handbooks for the division – fun stuff right there . . .

So Cimarron started with the 1911 pattern aiming for the “Wild Bunch” shooters – and they and Armsor/Rock Island actually did a “decent” job on coming up with a circa 1913 government model 1911 – it’s not perfect – but it’s close enough that it is allowed in the competition – and NOBODY wants to run the snot out of their 5 to 10 thousand dollar Colt original pistol . . .

When I get the grips we will take a closer look at 1911 government vs 1918 government/commercial models vs Rock Island – no real GLARING differences – but they are there – in the meantime – trot your happy ass to the range and PRACTICE!!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

All Y’all Need to slip over to The Intrepid Reporter

Motivation on This?

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Much ado aboot nuthin’ IMO
BUT
The new Stalinist Ministry of Media Propaganda has deemed it most worthy for some inscrutable reason to start ‘pumping up the volume’ on a story ’bout some missing DotMil ordinance.  LOTS n LOTS of stories about a stolen box of, and I quote: “armor piercing grenades”.<le sigh>

<<SNIP>>

Read his take on the whole affair – I really didn’t pay a lot of attention to the story because when it happened 4 YEARS AGO I’m like “Somebody is gonna have a GOOD Fourth of July” – back in my younger days a buddy had a line on 105 Simulators – those were a absolute hoot . . .

But now we must create fear about “white nationalism” – or what ever the focus group says is the “phrase of the day” – I have asked this question many times in my life and have never got a cognizant answer – If white people are so evil – why do you desire our “white” money so badly ? Take a look at the federal reserve board members – that’s a real diverse group – NOT!

Trot your happy ass over to The Intrepid Reporter and check his take on it – peruse his site while your there – full of good stuff . . .
