Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

After she tried to put lipstick on you. Tell the whole story.

 

TORR is having one in mid-march

 

IH8MUD

 

And while I'm not buying the guys light bar, I may be buying his pistol.

 

What pistol?

 

he's got a Springfield 1911 "competition". let me find the text with "what it's got".

"custom" - of course - dovetailed mag well, full wilson internals, wilson combat sights, wilson combat skeletonized trigger and hammer, MLGR, oh and sweet cobra prints on the grips.

talked him down to 850 from 950 just via text, but doing some research onlineskies, and honestly, unless i were a wilson combat engineer, a gunsmith, or a competition shooter, i should just go with a springfield range officer, which i've found for $125 less than his USED, CUSTOM (with no paperwork or receipts, and all work done by a buddy who, while is an FFL and CHL instructor, is not a gunsmith) 1911. the box he shows in the pics comes from an XD model, and he doesn't even have the bore brush, double mag holder, or holster that comes with the RO and up models.

i'm gonna meet up with him tomorrow and try to talk him down another 100 or so, but i highly doubt i'll get anywhere with him, so if anyone is interested, click the link that nathan posted for his number and ask him about his 1911. or his lightbar.....

Wilson combat


But I love my sig!

 

4 discrepancies with the pics/description.

1) no paperwork
2) wilson combat hammers are stainless steel (read: silver), his is black
3) wilson combat triggers have 3 ROUND holes, much like the stock RO model, his has three oval shaped cutouts, so i know it's definitely an aftermarket.
4) what layman can really tell the difference in WC internals v. stock? i looked up the parts and there are no discernible markings that would indicate otherwise. i think he's full of shit on his WC claim.

 

Makes no sense to me. Sounds like he is trying to blow smoke up a non knowledged persons ass. Sadly he doesn't know who you are so just call his bluff later haha.


Buy a sig you won't regret it!

 

I'm tired of this rainy ass weather

Also screw getting up this early.

Off to the Rotten Apple for the day. See you fellas (and Becky) later.

Kase we still have a date on Friday night? Still waiting for the hinge and latch, but it should be here by then.

 

i've had a sig 1911 - but it was a special edition, ergo a safe queen. i want one i can drag through hellfire and brimstone and come out shooting on the other side. thought about the RO, but i'm leaning more to the milspec one, saves about 200$ and had just a spur hammer and solid trigger.

 

But was it the scorpion 5 inch railed haha? If I was to buy another pistol I'm buying an hk usp tactical 45

 

no, i had the scorpion elite 226 in 9mm but that had to go. my brother had a usp 45 (non tactical), which now sits in pops gun safe, he swapped it for the 40.

i am still kinda reluctant to get a 1911. i think i want to spend that money on full skids . i still haven't heard back from budbuilt OR all pro.

 

Is a skid gonna save you in sharpstown? I sure as hell know my 1911 will save me

 

i have other options floating around my truck

 

Ahh shit!

Whee do you mount your handgun in the taco I'm not sure where to put a full size 1911

 

Console vault. Supposedly there is a behind the glove box mod too that a buddy had done a fee years back (2011) but I can't find the steps anywhere

 

it's all fun and games till someone gets hurt

 

Ya I looked at those but they are so damn expensive

 

Forgot to put yeasts in the dough!
