Glock 19 in El Paso Saddlery Street Combat holster.  Easier to conceal than my Smith Model 29.

Do you carry your 29 regular?  Hunting, camping? In your nine, mm what type bullets?

The majority of the time I carry my Seecamp because of its size and ease of concealment.  My Seecamp is a hand made masterpiece in my opinion.  All of the corners and edges are rounded and smoothed, it is polished stainless steel, double action only with a very stiff trigger pull (there is no way the trigger will accidentally get pulled), has a round in the chamber indicator and does not function with the magazine removed, making it very safe to carry.

No, it was designed to shoot Winchester Silver Tips.  Some other brands of ammo won't work the action or won't fit in the magazine.

Cheaptrick -- ok its a glock-  care to elaborate--  which one?

tahqua-- is that a lightweight det. or the all steel model --if lightweight how does it handle with the +p loads. beautiful

tone on the holsters is that horsehide?

The Alessi is cowhide, thanks for the compliment. Lou does excellent work and is worth the wait.
The Agent is aluminum framed. I have always shot standard pressure lead for practice and carry the +P's. I haven't noticed any timing problems or frame stretch and I've shot a lot of +P's through it. That is a factory shroud, too.

Dale....carry the 29 hunting, fishing, camping, riding around my ranch, etc...always have it near.  Usually keep it loaded with some "medium loads" with 240gr hard cast bullets.

 Work in an office, thus the Glock 19...my dress-up gun.  For city carry, usually load it with Glaser Safety Slugs or Extreme Shock loads...low penetration frangible loads for crowded places....keep spare mags loaded with Rem Golden Sabers.

Forgot to answer the question on recoil. The Eagle SS fills the area behind the trigger and it handles okay. Recoil is along the lines of a 4" .357 with heavy loads. The original grips were knuckle busters with +P's.

I hear ya.  Here is what L.W. Seecamp says about the .32,

 

"We’ve recommended Silvertips since we first introduced the LWS.32 back in 1985. At the time there was simply no market for the few oversized .32 caliber pistols still being made. As a result ammo choices were very limited. What once was an acceptable police and military cartridge was well on the road to becoming a novelty round in the USA used only by gun collectors shooting surplus ammunition on a Sunday afternoon. Pistols in .32ACP were becoming obsolete weapons because of their disproportionate size to caliber ratio and the increase in the number of criminals shooting back who were punching bigger holes.

 

.32ACP pistols were once used extensively by police and military in countries like Spain, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany and the USA. In WWII, American general grade officers were issued .32ACP Colt M1903 pistols for carry while a variety of pistols in .32ACP were standard fare among German soldiers. When Hitler committed suicide, it was a 7.65mm (.32ACP) PPK he chose. This now often frowned upon caliber had enough prestige to make it the preference of Ian Fleming’s James Bond, who like Hitler also favored the .32ACP PPK. As to stopping power, statistics show shot placement trumps caliber every time. It’s more conducive to good health to be shot in the foot with a .44 Magnum than in a vital zone with a .22 or .25."

 

I'm all about big holes and lots of them and when clothing permits, I will carry my Glock 21 or Glock 37.  My little Seecamp fits in my pocket and I figure a little gun is better than no gun.

How do you like the Sparks holster?

They are mentioned in VERY high regard on gun forums.



Posted By: tahqua
Date Posted: February/20/2007 at 18:29
It is very well made and stable as a rock. It is not as attractive as my Alessi's but for an IWB it doesn't mean a whole lot. Tony Kanaley at Milt Sparks made me an SS for a P-38 years ago when nobody else would or could. I will get more of his leather in the future. I have been aquiring Lou Alessi's holsters lately and recommend them, also.

Chris- have to take that back about getting you a serious caliber. How are you liking the GAP so far?

 

Wed.  Glock 38 GAP WW silver tips- homemade holster-- love the mod. 38 one round shorter than combat commander holds 10 rounds same barrel length-- same width, uses same reloading dies - small pistol primers,

I also removed the front trigger guard finger hook. (should have taken the pict. at a different angle). 3000 rds so far with no complaints. El Pres. times just a bit longer from concealed than commander types.

I use the standard Galco concealable belt holster.  To answer your question about loads in an earlier post, I haven't settled on a confidence load yet.  I do 100X more rifle shooting than pistol shooting, so I haven't done a lot of experimentation.  I had a bunch of Federal 230gr. Hydra-Shocks sitting around that I've had for years and they shoot pretty well in the gun, but I understand there are perhaps better choices now.  Any suggestions?

I'm ok with 200 gr SWC cast-- but heres a good way to tell-- As expected lighter guns are harder to hold, when double tapping-- to lighter bullets-- the trick is to keep the power factor around 180. The "split" or time it takes to get the shot off should be around .2 of a second and no more than 1 inch apart. If greater the shooter is fighting the gun for control.

 

Thurs.  38 SW Airweight ,  ankle holster, hogue grips, and 66 gr hollow core, not hollow pt, solid copper at 1400 fps from a 2 " barrel. This type of load allows for quick doubles and fast backup shots.

 

Look at the new Powerball -- good stuff.

Carry? Here in Cali?  Nah, here in the golden state we only allow criminals to walk around armed.

On rare occasions when I can carry (like at a campground), I typically have a Sig P220 in a simple Fobus paddle holster.

I am considering getting a Kahr P9 though.  That's about the biggest gun I can comfortably put into my pocket.

Posted By: tahqua

Nickel with jeweled trigger and hammer. I traded a Suzuki 185 dirt bike for it in1979. It has been slicked up and shoots like charm. I've shot tons of .38 through it. It was my PPC gun for a few years. Back then they didn't like my BHP on the line. Flying brass could kill someone. Now I only load the heavy hitters for it.

That's a nice set up on that 41. What is your ammo of choice and is yours particular about what you feed it?



Posted By: Dale Clifford
Date Posted: February/24/2007 at 10:22

You shot PPC without a power rib, and 6'" bull barrel, with a  4" 28 my hats off. the 41 does well withalmost anything, but T-22 mostly-- since it seems hard to get it's been bargin Federal and bargin Remington.

 



Posted By: tahqua
Date Posted: February/24/2007 at 10:41

The guy that still has my Suzuki was racing a 6" Python with all those goodies. He shot master everytime. He's sorry he put all those tapped holes in his snake now. Even with the Lewis scoring system I never won anything. With the BHP I was marksman, the 28 got me to expert in no time. The trigger is great.

My brother had a 41 and sold it. I wish I would have known he was selling, they are one of the nicest semiautos out there. The blue, wood and trigger are top notch. I like the hold for bullseye, very comfortable, a natural pointer.

He replaced it with a SIG Trailside that I believe is a Hammerli design. He is quite happy with it.

The Rugers are shooters and there are tons of parts. When I handle the Smith, though, the Ruger pales in comparison.



Posted By: tahqua
Date Posted: February/24/2007 at 19:38

OK Dale, if this was work I'd be fired because I'm starting Friday. USP .45, more Alessi-PCH and CQC-S, SOG X-Ray Vision and Cor-Bon 200gr though it eats anything I feed it. Never a FTT, FTE or anything. Because of my M-28 I'm going back to DAO on this one, I already have the parts as it started off as a Variant 7. The trigger is heavy but fairly smooth and it is the same for very shot, DAO. KISS is GOOD

My duty gun is a Glock 22 with Win Ranger .40cal jhp so I try to stay similar off duty and carry either a 22 or a 35 sometimes a 30 in 45acp if I had a 23 I would probably carry that. Over the years I have carried a lot of different pistols with 5 different agencies. I am a little uncomfortable carrying anything lower power than .357 .40 .44 &.45 but have had some other interesting carry handguns. As far as ultra small guns I used to have a two shot 22mag hi standard double action that I made a leather wallet for and used the grip screws to attach the leather pannels to the pistol (after removing the grips), if you could get your finger into the trigger guard nothing in the world could keep it from going bang. For a while I used to carry an .45 acp H&K P9s target model in the front pocket of my vest as a back up and a Cold Steel tanto attached to the velcro,  the duty gun was a S&W 629 4in. I also used to carry a model 60 that was hand lapped out to take .357 with the hammer spur removed as a back up in my left rear pocket. I'm pretty comfortable carrying a full size auto or 4 in revolver in an inside the pants holster like Bianchi #3 but the best leather was some of the custom work Bruce Nelson did while he was alive. I have probably carried a 1911 Colt .45 acp more than any other pistol over the years and i find it easier to carry a Govt or commander size gun than a J farme S&W as it stays in the holster better during activity.  As far as autos I like Colt, Glock, SigSauer, H&K for revolvers Colt or S&W but you have to be really careful in checking to see that a S&W has good timing and the cylinder should lock in place before the hammer falls. I must say I was a little surprised that Chris wasn't a 1911 guy but then he still needs a good musket too.

Those are not carryguns as we not are allowed to carry.

But some of my favorite targetpistols.

 

I have used them for our version of Bullseye, PPC and field target competitions.

Mauser 9mm with 4,5" octagon lothar walther Barrel.

Bomar sight.

This is the most accurate handgun I have fired and in my hands the one that is the eaysest to hit with.

,

 

Bastard of SIG P210 and SIG 47/8.

It's was a ruined cracked pistol that I traded for a camera, worth about 100 dollars.

Since I have welded up the beavertail, bomar installed, checkering on frontstrap etc.

Those are probably the most well made working pistols ever together with the P08.

 

 

Colt Military hard slide on a Para frame and Barsto barrel.

In my opinion the Para frame is sh*t quality and far to fat.

I have used this a lot for mainly IPSC.

It shoots well, but I shot a lot better when I had a singel stack frame, so I will probably switch back.

Man would I love to have that LUger for one IDPA  --"Shooter load and make what the hell""

Great work on the Sig, but why a beavertail on a 9mm-- Or gotta climb that mountain type of thing?m  What kind of grips are those.

Your right about PA frames they are sh*t-- (actually sh*t has more redeeming value it can be used as fertilizer) last one I had tore the left rail completely of the frame- PA wouldn't believe it until I sent the gun back. SA mag well and probably beavertail nice work on the bomar and that front site.--reminiscent of eary Colt NMs !!!!!!  YOu do the front bevel and relieve the slide for cases and strap checkering? Anyway nice job!!!!!

That holster is an orginal Rogers before he sold out to Safariland--- you've been doing this a long time!!!!!!

 not sure why you think a 50 isn't a good musket. It may not be a traditional flintlock but the encore and omega are extremely easy to clean and maintain and are far better than the Knight and the Austin Haileck that I had and they kill deer every time at 200 yards.  The 45 cal I had was a major pain when it came to finding ammo and to cleaning it.

The SIG P210 makes a terrible hammerbite, actually any gun that can produce a hammerbite makes that on me.........

1911, High power, P210,C96... you name it........

With the beavertail on the P210 the gun comes lower in the hand, the muzzlejump gets reduced and there is a completely different feeling in the gun.

 

The grip is an orignal bakelite grip that we converted with belt sander and sand and glue.....

Make the same things on glocks, as you can see here.

 

When it comes to 1911 I quit doing front serations and such  s,,,t a number of years ago.

cant really see any reason for it.

But I don't custombuild pistols any longer, no fun and military prototypes is much more challenging.

As I recall the action on a Luger folds, does that mean the rear sight rotates down each time?


Posted By: www.technika.nu
Date Posted: February/27/2007 at 15:06

Yes, it's very hard on the sight.

THe bomar can stand that for 5000-10000 rounds and then it's time to change........

And I don't know of any better sight than a bomar, so the  gun is just to violent for adjustable sights.

But that dosent matter, i prefers to pay for a sight now and then and continue to shoot luger.

I've fallen behind here. I have done the flip flop on the USP, started off as a V.7 DOA, then went to V.1 traditional double action. Since I have the parts I am going back to DOA. I've had that M28 so long that the long DOA pull doesn't bother me. Kind of like the Glock, same pull every time, though heavy. My accuracy when I went to V.1 did not improve. HK's are accurate and like my 91, built like a tank.

Here's the boomers. Freedom Arms 83, .454 Casull, 350 grain hard cast filled to the brim with 4227. Ruger Redhawk with 240 gr hard cast and gobs of Blue Dot. The knife is a 9" Ranger, a real beast, 5160 spring steel.

Did you select the DOA on the usp to get away from the thumbs over thumbs safety problem?

 

Try LBT's 350 gas check in your 454, really nice.  Ever run a scope on your 44?

I've read about those LBT's and I am going to try them, thanks. That is an obnoxious roscoe.

The Redhawk has a 2x Leo. I take it off after deer season for range use. I load .240 gr lead over 7 gr Unique, very pleasant to shoot. 

The USP originally came DOA and it was a bit heavy so I had HK convert it. Now that it is SA/DA I have found my groups haven't improved much. I like the simplicity of the DOA slick side.

I haven't had the safety issue that I've heard about, but I've never held it with the thumb up high.

Longbow -- how do you like the finger grooves? Do you have any problem with mag release and then repositioning?

Dogger, the recoil is quite manageable. Fitting a scope is a bit tricky though.

When you carry a single shot you got to be good.

That is wayyyy to complicated for us Africans!!!! We can hardly read and write, never mind that stuff. We just guess and let rip.

Our other favourite "carry" is illustrated by this dude below

And practice day at the range:
