( maybe some else can ) Just wondering there seems to be a lot of glock owners here , which model is the most owned? They claim to have 65% of the US police market, and 80% world wide, not my numbers . Just wondering , what brand of "tupperware" is the most owned by those on this forum? ]]> Handguns Ae-35 http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/30617-glocks.html http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/30595-look-my-new-toy.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:27:53 GMT Awhile back I bought a Kimber SIS Ultra from a great guy on TGO, se-real.

I love the gun, but never really liked the "blue" finish. I sent the gun to PA for a finish called "Metallife." (Google "Mahovsky's Metalife" to learn about the finish if you are interested.) My pistol came back home to TN and I thought you might want a look!

The other day I met Sam Riley and we did a little horse trading,my horse is a used Springfield 1911 Compact in .45ACP,its a shooter thats for sure,I am a little skeptical of the 1911 with the shorter barrels(3 inch)but she ran fine,1 missfeed on a Winchester 230g JHP,switched to one of my Wilson mag

It has the Swiss police emblem etched into the side of the slide just behind the Sig Sauer name.
So here are some pictures of before and after I started polishing the slide and the controls, TGO david was kind enough to install some XS Big Dits on it last weekend that I bought from Todd with CIS, thanks again both of you.
Heres the before pics!!!!


And here's the after pictures!!!


As I stated this is still a work in progress, this weekend I will perform a (fluff & buff) to the trigger action and I'm waiting for a spring kit to replace all the springs and some new grips. I know some Sig traditionalists will balk at a 2 tone or a polished Sig but I like it and that's all that really matters. LOL!!!

Sig did the following
AEP (action enhancement program)
SRT (Short reset trigger)
P&SP (Sig Light sights, extra springs, tune up) even though it was new in box I get extra springs with this

Here are pictures of the test target that I had them sight the pistol in with Remington Golden Saber 230 Grain




The trigger is night and day different than it came stock, I cant wait to shoot it I am very happy with SIG's service and I think I will love this pistol :) ]]> Handguns willis68 http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/30578-sig-came-home.html http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/30561-new-me-kimber.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:24:54 GMT :clap:Well I did it.

Looking for opinions on quality, accuracy, reliability, turnaround, worth the price, etc...

Thinking of having a beautiful frankenstein commander bobtail with a rail in 9mm put together for me after the holidays, looking for this weird recipe has led me to them (think they might be the only people who make such a thing)...
If anyone knows of anyone else who does something like this please let me know as well.

Here's kinda what I'm going for, except I'm thinking diamond-black ion bond and different grips:

My wife is funding me a new handgun for our Anniversary / Christmas (and to replace my Glock G26 she has confiscated). I have the following choices narrowed down for an EDC that is easily concealed (I don't open carry because of people freaking out).

My choices are a:

Walther PPS 9MM NIB - 3 mags - $650 out the door

Colt Defender NIB - $890 out the door

Kimber Eclipse Ultra II - Used - $900

Does anyone on the board have experience with any of these?
