How goes it calgunners? Just thought I'd share my p229 scorpion clone. So my LGS was selling off govt contracted issues weapons which so happened to be the p229 (no Ca version) for pretty cheap. It was $460 out the door with tax and dros. Round count?? Unknown..but who cares it's a p229 off roster!! Any who, there was obvious holster wear and the finish on the barrel was coming off but other than that everything else seemed fine. Off I start to rebuilding this gun with the scorpion look in mind. Here's a list of what I bought and some mods I did (I did the work myself except for cerakoting)
-Wolf 16lb recoil spring with firing pin spring (figured I'd replace this since it was pretty cheap)
-17lb wolf hammer spring
-Short trigger
-SRT
-Hogue g10 grips
-LPA adjustable sights
-Hogue hex screws
-Front strap checkering (30lpi)
-Rounded the trigger guard
-Under cut the trigger guard
-polished all internal contact points so it's a smooth DA with a clean break and SA breaks about 3.5-4lbs
All in all with the cerakote, I probably could of gotten an on roster p229 elite but where's the fun in that!?!? Lastly I want to thank Mark over at PWG for the awesome cerakote job!!
