Try your hand at hollow points. Mine damn near refused to shoot them. I accidentally bought some target hollow points at wally world and didn't realize it until I got to Guns & Leather. I should have just bought some ball ammo there, but I was already frustrated.

So I've had a certain level of frustration lately and it all stems from the color Pink...that and it's been pretty hot this weekend. Anyhow the pictures will speak for themselves and there are a couple before/after shots. Enjoy... Sig P238 Before: Sig P238 After: Ruger LC9 Talo: Glock 26: Now a little something for the guys again... AK-47 Before: AK-47 After Shots (the AK is fully functioning, the buttstock is just open to show it off): These were a bit out there, but not as bad as the highlighter green revolver. Sorry for the pictures being all over the place...photobucket has them all going the right way....don't know where the disconnect it.........EDIT AGAIN...The pictures appear to be in the correct orientation now.

I have the same pistol, I put the night sights on it and made some other alterations. It's an awesome pistol, I couldn't be happier with it and it beats the price of a Springfield Operator any day.

Yea those are the places. I haven't been to Tiny Town yet, but the guys at Golf Club seem pretty eager to help, it just took them a bit to get some guns after they opened.

quietguy, sorry, checked this just after getting the classified together. PM replied to. Chrome one is in the classifieds now.

Well it looks like I lost the battle, after enduring Opry Mills Mall, The Book Attic, Bed Bath & Beyond and REI...well REI wasn't that bad, but still that's a lot of shopping that didn't really interest me in any way. It's sad and I hate to do it, but Willis you have a PM. I'll still be enjoying the blued Python and.........shhhhh, don't tell my wife, but I may have a line on an Anaconda, I can only hope.

When I do go to the range, I let the people I hang out with know the day and time I plan on leaving. I tell them if you would like to come call before I leave. The only person who is good for the range is my Dad. I've got friends that have guns and I've never seen them shoot them in the 6+ years I've known them. I tell them to sell me their guns so they will get the appropriate attention they need. One day though, I'll get them to go shooting, maybe they are intimidated...who knows. I would just throw out the date, time and location you are going and tell them to meet you there if they are interested, I wouldn't depend on them going.

If she wants lessons on technique, I'm a pretty good teacher. I'll just tell me wife I'm giving classes. Back to guns now, I think if she was also making some 800-1000 meter shots with a nice bolt action would be even more scary to the sheeple. And she can suppress it and make some 500-600 meter shots, that'd make some people think a little.

I got a hobby that pays for my habit. I was getting firearms in trade for services as well as sinking in the cash profit into the rest. It's good to have a hobby that supports a habit, I don't drink or smoke so I have to spend my money on something, so I chose guns and bullets. ***Edit*** They feel smooth, I haven't tried to dry fire them and I don't have any snap caps for it but once I'm not working I will be shooting these. Maybe between projects this weekend I can make it across the street from the shop to squeeze off a few rounds.

Here are the markings that are unusual to me...

I already have one, it's a nickel Stoeger Coach Supreme. It's my bedside gun, my wife laid claim to my Mossberg Tactical Cruiser after I put a pistol grip in place of the foregrip. She gets "her" guns, she's got a Sig P6, Sig P226, Mossy TC, a scoped 10/22 and once I get the Springfield V10 back from my dad she has already said it's hers as well. Willis, I'll only be getting rid of one if I do...it will not happen without a lot of persuasion on her part though. I'll let you know when it does happen though. One other thing that I have, the nickel one came with a "Brian C Foster" basket weave holster. All I have found on this is he was/is a holster maker in England. Anyone know anything else about Brian C Foster holsters? I'll take pictures of all the proof marks on the blued one to see if it helps to find out what they mean.

Anyone have any ideas on the markings on the barrel frame and cylinder? I'm till at a loss on those, and I haven't seen them on any other Pythons.

I'd like to do that, but it doesn't work too well. Before her I was into fast cars and not so much firearms, I ditched the fast cars and got a truck and started collecting firearms. That and she was in the garage throwing away some stuff when I pulled up, I couldn't do too much at that point. The peace isn't broken too bad, she was just upset I didn't talk it over with her before I got them. I told her why talk it over when I know your answer...she stopped talking after that. We're going to Opry Mills Saturday to make up for what I did.

If you want to start a fight, come home unexpectedly with 2 Colt Pythons. I had promised my wife that this year wouldn't be like last year. Last year I acquired 18 guns in the 4 months I was home to get them, this year I'm up to 5 and I've been home for 2 months. I figured that isn't too bad, but apparently my wife doesn't agree. I told her some things I just can't pass up...I was told that I have to choose. I was reminded of a joke I told my wife when she was pregnant, " If you have twins, pick your favorite and we're selling the other". For now though I have 2 and I'll sit on them as long as I can since the peace has already been broken. Here are the pictures: My favorite is the blued one, the nickel plated one is a bit too flashy for me. The nickel one was made in 1981 and the blued one was made in 1980. Also the blued one has some interesting markings on it that I can't figure out what they mean or why they are there. These markings are on the barrel, frame and front of the cylinder. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it, the marking is a small crown as pictured below: For now enjoy, I know I will.

Well the only thing is, this isn't an apartment truely, it's a 5 unit town home. I have the middle unit and I don't have any issues with the old people on the other side, it's this younger couple on the one side of me. There is no apartment management that I can turn to, there is a HOA but if you've seen my previous post about them, they are as worthless as tits on a hog. It is the surround sound though, all I was hearing last night was what was coming through the woofer. The tv may be low, but if the woofer is on the wall then it's not going to do anything but echo into my living room. It's just irritating, I just wish some people would get their heads out of their a$$es, at least get their ears out so they can listen to the words coming out of my mouth.

I do all my gun work in the garage, so she's seen plenty of pistols and rifles laying around and I always keep my Super Redhawk .454 loaded with me in the house or garage. I've been here for the last 4 years, they have been here barely a year, and as much as I don't like this house I feel I was here first. I saw the noise ordinance for Clarksville, I was looking for the actual ordinance number and I was going to print it up with a note informing them that next time I come over to ask them to turn it down and nothing happens I'll get the police involved. Once my wife is done with college I'll be looking for a new house anyways, she's had her fun here, next one I won't be able to throw a rock and hit the neighbors.

I'm not allowed to have those in my house anymore, there has been a crackdown at work. Just kidding, I wouldn't obtain anything like that, I'd have no real use for it. I do have a nice lock pick set and I've yet to meet a set of Kwik locks that I can't pick...that's why I have commercial grade Schlage locks. I could make short work of that entertainment system and be out in about 5 minutes, my wife said to get real, so I said I'd cut a hole through the wall adjoining us and cut all the wiring going to the area their tv would be in....she stopped talking after that.

I'd like to start by saying that I normally don't go too far out of my way to talk to neighbors, I've lived in my house for 4 years now and I've seen 3 different families in the townhome next to mine. Since getting back in February I've only seen the neighbors on the right a handful of times, and when I wasn't busy working on something or sand blasting I have made the attempt to say "Hi" when they were getting their mail or something. I've never gotten anything in return. Well I was trying to watch a movie with my wife and daughter tonight and over top of the movie that I'm watching I hear the neighbors movie/tv/radio. Where I'm from, redneck suburbia, growing up in an apartment, when your neighbor knocked on the wall you turned down your crap. I tried this, nothing in return. I wait, trying to ignore the sounds coming from my wall. Well I can't anymore so I walk next door and knock on the door. They open up and here's the dialog from there: Me: Hello, do you have a TV or a radio that is playing loudly right now? Her: Yes, we are watching a movie. What's your name? Me: I'm Chris. I can hear your TV in my place over top of my TV. Her: Well I'm ......, the movie isn't that loud. Me: If I can hear your TV over mine while I'm sitting in front of mine then it's too loud. Her: Well I don't think it's loud. Maybe if you had introduced yourself and been polite and not knocked on the wall... Me: Where I come from, if your neighbor knocks on the wall that means turn down whatever is making noise. Her: Well I think that it was rude... Me: I think it's rude of you to play your TV so loud I can hear it in my house over what I'm watching. Her: Well it's not that loud. Me: Will you turn it down so I don't have to listen to it as well? Her: I will turn it down, I would appreciate it if you would have came and introduced yourself. Me: I don't have time for that, just turn it down. Her: I will Me: Thanks, Bye. I'm still hearing their TV over mine, I'm approximately 10ft from my TV and approximately 6ft from the wall joining to their town home. Short of me walking back over there and getting into a pissing contest with this lady, anyone have any suggestions? Her attitude that she was giving isn't something that I handle very well, I'm a little short tempered. My wife says I should ignore it, I can't, I've tried. This is why I don't want neighbors, I don't like having them, I've never had good experiences.

It is dry to the touch in a couple hours, so you can start laying on vinyl for camo patterns or graphics. However it isn't fully cured for roughly 3 weeks. It can be handled and shot after it's dry to the touch, but you'll run the risk of ruining it.

I've got pistols and rifles that have been done for 3+ years now, I've got no chipping or wear from general use. The only blemishes I have in the finish is where I locked a slide into a vise to give me a little extra leverage in getting the sights out. The stuff works great and is cheap, the cure time is the only thing that kills me, 3-4 weeks. I'll stick to the ceramic baked on finishes, just as durable and I can have a gun apart, prepped, cured, back together and shooting the same day. I've got the same RIA that I'll be working on later today, I put in some Novak night sights and then used Devcon to fill the dovetails so I'll be refinishing and polishing the sides of the slide as well as doing the frame to match. I'm just making it black again though, not the grey-ish color it was.

It's necessary to have reliable guns. In my house, only those that I know will go bang every time get the privilege of being my personal defense guns. So that means the my Remington 870, Mossberg 500 TC, Sig P226 and Ruger Super Redhawk are my top 4, the rest ride the safe. My Charter is still only in pieces because it's been apart and together 5 times since I got it. I'm done fooling with it, I'll get it back together and put it out to pasture.

Great read, I'm glad I've never had any of those problems aside from the occasional "missing part". My daughter doesn't go in the garage when I'm working. I did a P6 for my wife, I got it for her as a mother's day gift and refinished it in titanium and black. It looks pretty damn cool now and she loves it, I still didn't get back my P226 though.

I've got a Charter 2000 Police Undercover in .38 that is currently in pieces in a bag. It was having a lot of issues, I think it will just stay in the bag and I'll wait a bit and replace it. I may have a line on a stainless and a blued Colt Diamondback.

I don't think you were out of line with anything, kids get into everything. Anytime any kids are at my house despite their age, all the guns in the house go in the safe. If it's out it's only a matter of time that a kid will find it.

Bug spray for the sand fleas, sunscreen, a hat, good polarized glasses, something to wrap around his face when the dust kicks up, some antacid for the food over there, tell him to go to Nando's in Manama they have some of the best chicken I've ever had.
