My new carry gun finally arrived

[POTTSY]

I have a question on your project which look very nice , i seen you must have put it in a oven to bake the paint , what i want to know is what temp and how long did you leave it in the oven ?

 

[AllenM]

Well, now you have to take me out to MCFG. It's impossible for me to just "see" this beast, it must be shot!

Pretty much whenever, before it gets cold. Depending on my work schedule I may use this for FNS tomorrow

Depends on which brand of paint you use.
I used KG Gunkote so I bake it for an hour at 325 degrees

Allen,

Beautiful craftsmanship, every time I see a Fusion I tell myself I NEED to build one! Love the Carry Cuts (Or press check cut or Hi Power cut). Looking forward to the range report!

 

[AllenM]

Shoot..... I could done this on top a light pole

That is a nice little kit. It would be a great way to learn your way around a 1911.

That looks great, Allen. It makes me wish I could afford one. Or at least get my handgun how I want it.

 

[AllenM]

Thanks for all the positive comments. I think I like working on them as much as shooting.
Maybe more at times

Pretty. I was wondering about the Sig .357. Does it have about the same kick as a 40? Let us know when you start shooting it.

Pretty. I was wondering about the Sig .357. Does it have about the same kick as a 40? Let us know when you start shooting it.

The sig has noticeably more recoil than the .40 but very managble. Between the two barrels I have put about 450 rounds through it so far with great results. The sig setup gave me some light primer strikes at first but I think I have that cured.

I am planning on shooting it at FNS tonight with the .40 cal barrel

Accuracy has been outstanding so far but right now the 40 is out performing the Sig in that area but I think the ammo is the culprit there.

The WWB 357 seems not to have enough neck tension we will see after I break down and buy reloading dies and or better ammo.
