I'd like to see Springfield announce either formal adoption of the Barrett Rule ("if your proles can't have it your cops can't eiher) and some serious sponsorship of NRA/SAF/FPC lawfare against the Gunstapo.

More annoying, everywhere else I've been finding that does anything like nickeling or chroming is strictly "no polishing" now, once in a while one offers satin but it seems to be the norm that "it's matte or go find someone else."

Wright's Armory had a big rep for it here in the PNW (taking your parts and forwarding 'em to Barrkman's other firm CTL in part of a bulk order, then doing whatever needed on return) but now they only offer something called NT7 and it's matte-only. :(

Unfortunately, that 7" monster is all carbon steel on the frame and slide. :( So stuff like hard-chrome and similar coatings.

Crazy question on the big beast... any advice for getting a durable but bright mirror-shine (like, bright enough to use as a shaving mirror) finish?

Sloppy research, calling Japanese subs I-class is like calling all German subs U-class, More accurate would be to refer to them as classes by the complete lead boat number (ex. I-400 class) or their Japanese classes (ex. for I-400 ST or Sen-Toku), much as we refer to the German U-boats by theirs...

I'm still trying to get an appointment with Orthopedics for a first look, my right arm's just been in a sling since mid September. Lucky thing I spent my first twenty years with limited use of my right arm... it's just remembering the old workarounds, though changing my shirts is still sporty. LOL

Yeah, a 7" isn't a carry gun but more a BBQ or Bedside one.

Hopefully, slathering the frame and slide in Krylon will be enough barrier to keep the humid air off for however many weeks to few months it takes. Hopefully it won't be long enough to need cosmoline or anything like that... The slide sides aren't bare metal, it's metallic chrome spray and a...

One last pic with a temporary anticorrosion Krylon on so the big girl can go into storage until my broken weak-side collarbone heals.

A friend who used to do competitive bodybuilding estimates it will take two *years* to get my shoulders and the bonebags hanging from them ready for cracking off her first .450SMC round. Should be quite docile with "minus-P" (aka .45 Auto) though.

Update on the Longslide... Left to do is mainly find or replace the trigger, find a way to keep the mainspring housing shoved home while I pin it and install the sights.

For my Longslide I've been working on, I've been looking at the Agency Optics System (aka Prodigy plate system) as a possible way to quickly swap between sights for different needs: irons for lo-pro carry and certain iron-only matches, Acro for some situations, RMSc for others. Question is, how...

Be careful about using the F-word in the company of an individual who once got a real stinker of a prof ousted by weaponized flatulence... NEVER underestimate the disgustive power of a fratboy with a Mason jar and a steady supply of Taco Hell for fuel. *evil laugh*

Twenty YEARS in the making and still under construction... 7" Longslide, .450 Short Magnum. It's a mix of Caspian, Fusion, EGW and Wilson Combat parts - four great teams have helped me with this thing over the two decades of planning and construction, and I wanted to make sure each got some...

The only thing that will impose sanity on the Democrats today is he same thing that did in the 1860s.

Is a red dot worth it if I already have a fiber-optic iron sight AND a light/laser unit? (Old-school no-rail 1911, old-school triggerguard-mount Streamlight TLR6.)

Came here on the reco of @Snake45 trying to find a new home after Gunhub (an old board where twenty years ago we knew a number of old-time gunwriters) imploded and died. Unfortunately, Washington State is even worse than Commiefornia with the "y'all can't have that" crap... Have a 7" longslide...
