[llh1956]

Good morning fellas!
Life changes so I have decided to trim my collections down a bit. The first 3 to go are my 1911's .45 acp. I will be keeping my CZ 97 as I shoot it the best (go figure it's a CZ)!
Mouse created hand fit S.A. and 6 Chip McCormick 10 round mags, 4 Wilson 8 round mags 7 S.A. 7 round mags. $950. View attachment 350247
From AllenM, Colt series 80 frame, firing pin block deleted, Remington Rand slide, Clark Barrel, bushing, ceracoated, 16 mags. $700 View attachment 350250
Tauras with S.A. internals, firing pin block deleted, the rail have been peened to tighten up the slide a bit and added an MGW custom fit bushing. I removed the billboard crap leaving only the serial # dehorned, all by a hand file to give it a very smooth feel. brown scotch Brite scuffed finish. 16 mags. $500 View attachment 350251
All are good shooters.
If interested get in touch, make an offer. All 3 for $1900. If no interest I will post up to the classifieds this Sunday!
I also have CM's last AR pistol build that can be had! I will include a soft case and 5 P mags.

Update, CM's SA will be is spoken for and will remain in the group. The Colt/Remington Rand is SPF to be picked up later this week!

Do they have as good a trigger as the P10? Or better? I have an old Canik TP9DA it's got a good trigger out of the box.

Canik METE, Rival triggers are much, much better!

Certainly no professional, but sounds like too much paint along with the distance like you said.
It’s always suprised me there are not clicks or at least marks on those knobs for at least a reference.
It’s definitely a ‘feel’ thing.
Hope you’re enjoying it!

My gun has numbered knobs and dash marks for reference.

Enjoying, yes, but it is time consuming with all the steps involved along the way. Getting a little burnt out on projects, but my warped mind keeps feeding them to me.

Ok...you know me not to be a professional and its been years, uh decades, since I painted cars but....

I remember working out ratios for products. Like 1.5 turns on paint knob for 1 turn on air knob. That, of course, isn't the correct ratio - just an example. Would also work out the correct spray on a white board before hitting the car. Different paints would spray differently.

We worked in an old wood barn with crappy ventilation and inconsistent air QC...but we got it done. On a breezy day, we would have to wet the floor to keep dust out.

Maybe @Bennettjh can chime in if the pros actually do something like this?

I still have lust for a cannon. A lot of gun for the money.

You’re welcome.

I still have lust for a Mete. A lot of gun for the money.

Henri has a MC9 METE and really likes it. It does have a very nice trigger. My TTI has a great trigger also.

You are correct and Cerakote has great instructional videos on this. I do use a test white board while making adjustments. I think it's just a case of "getting the yips" when going live. I can watch others, take notes and do all the mental preps, but going live changes the whole thing for me. I really think I just need more practice.

I was saving up for a Canik Elite Combat to be a duty sized do-it-all gun. It has the flat faced trigger similar to the Rival. Then I met this group and decided to get a CZ P01 (no regrets, I love it!). Oh the irony that now the group is drooling over Caniks! It’s just another proof that I need one of everything!

<p>One change that happens on both the US-made and Czech-made P-10s is the switch to a swappable magazine release. With a change in geometry, the goal was to eliminate the stiffness some customers experienced as the magazine release broke in, even though it became smooth after some use. This new...

OR version is $390 + $20 ship. A lot of gun for the price. Only complaint would be optics plates are about $40-70 depending on source and out of stock frequently. But still a good deal. Loving my P10C with HBi trigger/striker spring.

I should probably sell my other 9mm and just buy the P10 series. The 19rd magazine fits in the compact, and sub compact. I seen someone was making mag sleeves for the 19rd in the compact and 19rd and 15rd magazine sleeves for the 12rd sub compact.
Point is the magazines will work in the lower capacity versions. Which is nice.

P10C with 15 rnd mag

17 rnd

21 rnd with spacer/sleeve. Not perfect but works and bought for action pistol shooting. If anyone knows where to find nicer sleeves would like to give them a try.

I have two OR P10C's. One I bought when they first came out that was around $600 - $650. The other I picked up for ~$375 about 6 months ago. Fantastic handguns and at the under $400 price they're hard to beat.

thinking about picking up an OR version for a ‘spare’.
$385 + $20

<p>The Optics-Ready version of the P-10 ships with a blank filler plate. Additional plates for both the Trijicon RMR and Leupold DeltaPoint Pro are currently developed, with other styles possible down the road. Also available are matching sights that allow the user to co-witness their optic dot...

I'm talking up the P10 series as I slip my Sig P365 XL in my waistband in preparation to head out...

 

[bcannon]

Morn'n fellas :bgoOJ:

Love my P10C and P10F. Doubt they ever leave the stable.

 

[Leadeye]

Combo of low pressure and too much distance when spraying. That's my best guess. I found paint buildup on the lower air port of the spray nozzle while painting, so that probably is a clue to a professional as to what I did wrong. Fine tuning those adjustment knobs on the spray gun seems to be a skill I haven't quite obtained yet. Maybe I'll win the lotto and get factory trained at Cerakote. Also, my mind goes 150mph and if I don't talk myself through things while I'm doing them I will get ahead of myself.

How thick is the paint when you are spraying? Are you using a gravity fed or suction fed gun?

Give you $5000 for them?

 

[bcannon]

I might be crazy but I'm not stupid... SOLD!!

 

[bcannon]

Give you $5000 for them?

I'd probably get a tenth of that if I put them on the block..

 

[mcapo]

I might be crazy but I'm not stupid... SOLD!!

Ok. Let me OK the deal with the Mrs and I will be over as soon as am able. Just wait at the end of the road for me.

 

[mcapo]

$500 for both?

I'll be right over....

Not if I can beat you there!

 

[mcapo]

I actually wouldn't mind having an OR threaded P10F but other things seem to be getting in the way...

Today's surprise is two or four new rotors on wives car. Pads are fine - rotors are toast. Rears can't be machined - maybe the fronts.

 

[mcapo]

Not if I can beat you there!

First one there gets them.

Ready. Set. Go!
