wow what a beauty
visited their website, its a lot of money, sure, but it is one of the "sexiest" guns I've ever seen. I'm a 445acp fan, but if I ever have the cash to buy this, that's a 9 I would definitely consider!
how does it shoot, please tell us of your experience with it and make us drool some more!

thanks I must be blind or moronic or both but I could not find a thread where newcomers introduce themselves and I kinda feel awkward posting without introducing myself first...

Welcome to the forum from South Texas. If there's an introduction thread I've missed it. When I see a new ALPHA I welcome them. Welcomed you twice.

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

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 color called Lagoon - closest thing to a "dark teal" they had.

Really nice but way to much for this old guy to carry, my weight limit is my XD 45. with 2 mags..

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

Collar bone breaks are unique, I know from experience. Did you get the clavicle strap to pull your shoulders back to "set" bones as the scar tissue forms as the bones mend?
I broke my right one when I was 10ish, took three months in the strap to "set", then once I was off the strap, it took another 10 years for the bone to get back to its proper position.
Collar bone breaks truly SUCK.

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

The strap isn't so bad, and I'd rather have a broken collar bone than the shoulder issues I have now.

Broke both collar bones one while on vacation in Vietnam the other in a motorcycle accident.
