Here are three pics of my Sigs P225 and P220. 9mm and .45 acp respectively. I just love how they feel and handle. Oh and I am a lefty and they still feel great!

In the case of the HK, I take it the front bit is just basically a fancy counter-weight? I've got a USP40 and the UPS Quick Comp (don't think they even sell those anymore) and it fouled the end of my slide up a bit. Mostly just a change in the finish due to flaming hot gases and lead and such accumulating on the front of the slide caused by the quick comp creating higher pressure just in front of the muzzle.

My Colt Model 1911 US NAVY. Serial dates it to 1913 and the 1025th Colt 1911 ever marked with US NAVY on the slide. I don't know the history of it prior to my grandfather being issued the pistol for World War 2 unfortunately. It was recently given to me by my father and even though he has had it for some 30 or so years, never fired it. It surprised me because we're both avid shooters.
Recently I took it down to SharpShooters and had my buddy Ryan go through it and make sure everything was ok and I fired off 50 rounds. It was a great feeling to fire my grandfathers sidearm from the second world war which from what my father told me had not been shot in some 50 or so years.

Not bad for an 89 year old gun..
When I got it, it was in pretty bad shape with an awful cold blue finish and general butchery. Over the years, many parts were replaced- eventually, I had a Para ramped barrel installed, slide/frame tightened, hard chroming done, slide done in black, and now it's a tight sweet shooter! I fitted the Ed Brown beavertail myself (what a pain!), and did the trigger work on Wilson parts (about 3lbs). It's a 1911 pre-A1 frame and slide! With the new barrel fitted, its truly a tack driver at the range- there is zero play or movement in the slide/barrel/frame group. -Dave Last edited by saki302; 06-07-2007 at 2:56 AM.. |

A few of my Nighthawk Custom's and a Cylinder & Slide Adventurer - just a taste of my 1911 collection. And for you knife guys, a Benchmade Stryker. If you're looking for a deal on a Nighthawk, lets talk... I have a few.
