Some time back we discussed some of the photos in the classifieds. I suggested it might be time to get a toilet in the photo and as I recall SnapD was revolted by that idea.

It took a while but one fine INGO'er in the "Shotgun Show and Tell" thread posted a toilet/gun/shoes photo for me.

Never drive faster than you can see. (Besides, it's all in the reflexes!)

Morning folks!

Morning all...

Slept in way later than expected today, but then I went down very late due to some inconsiderate neighbors throwing a party and not turning off their loud music until after 1am.

Yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of time to kill and ran by a couple of gun shops that I frequent. What a disappointing experience. The cases are full of new guns but they were just about all plastic fantastic striker fired guns. A buddy of mine at one that I respect said that a factory rep from Sig explained that Sig can build 6 to 8 Sig P320s for the same machining effort as it takes to build one P226. So, cases are full of plastic guns now with the rare metal framed guns coming in and being grabbed up quickly.

The shop that used to have 10 to 15 CZs now has none that I could see and a bunch of H&K P30s. There might have been a P10 in there somewhere but who can tell with all of the look-alike plastic things out there now.

I’m regressing in my carry choice now days. Capacity is nice and all but I’ve been focusing more on what I shoot best, which is a Sig P229/P226 right now. Even those are running neck and neck with a 1911 and there’s a part of me that just wants to simplify back to carrying nothing but my A2 Commander or CM’s tuned stainless full size Springfield.

It’s hard not to love this gun

There are some metal grip modules for 320's these days. They are not cheap though.

Yup, not cheap at all. I wonder what the difference in milling effort is between an aluminum frame module for a P320 and an actual P229 frame? I would think that the drop in trigger pack on the P320 would have a significant reduction in milling operations compared to what would need to be done to properly put a P229 frame together to contain the trigger group.

If that’s the case, I would think the price would come in a bit lower than the classic P226/P229 series but it seems higher

Yeah, personally I'll stick with a Wilson Combat grip module. I haven't held one of these AXG classics, but I can't see throwing down the added $$$ for the metal grip module. Looks nice though.

Haven't priced the 226/229 in years, but I'm guessing they know people will pay a bit more for them so they charge more for them. Can't blame them, get what the market will pay.

I hate inconsiderate neighbors. Been dealing with my pos neighbor to the east for past 5yrs. Have had to call out the county atleast a half a dozen times. He came very close to finding out how effective Israeli M61 really is this last go-around.

Yep, I understand. This was the least offensive example as at least it was on the weekend. The last several times this happened it was on a weeknight. Idiot has young kids as well. I'm going to look up my HOA information and call and report him tomorrow. I hate to be that guy, but this is becoming a pattern that I want to try to stop. The houses in our addition are right on top of each other and a neighbor like that affects like a dozen families. I'm surprised no one called the police sooner...

Let me know if you would like to schedule a "Wills' Open Carry BBQ". Bet we could get quite a few attendees.

 

[bcannon]

This last time i called the county the officer said get a trailcam or security cam to get him on video. I said I'm not spending anymore cash on this douchebag, that the taxes I pay help pay his salary and that should suffice. Plus I've looked for a trailcam that will sense movement at 50yrs and coming up short.

I mentioned having donated this morning to my wife and she suggested that we do more. So, I took another shot. I am lucky to be associated with great people both in and outside of my immediate family. Thanks to all that put this together
