  Pres Trump is affecting Canada

It seems like his focusing on our out of control borders has swayed Canadian politics too.
Now Justin Trudeau is talking about reducing immigration up there. In a nutshell, he says their legal immigration system has been abused.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) for IFT6’s launch/catch with Musk 

I’m disappointed we could not make it but timber the doggie comes first & he has a not so fun day at the 2nd best teaching veterinary college in the country & they ran tests under general anesthesia that normally only humans have access to 

And yes it’s freaking expensive but he’s worth it

What’s the secret to getting these things sized correctly so they are comfortable 

Tried em on again today at the ranch store & just could not get them to fit right & they even had some cool insulated ones 

Willing to try them with a shoulder holster if I could just find comfortable ones & the wife stops laughing at me

  Are my expectations too high?
Posted by: The Shooters Apprentice - 11-18-2024, 05:56 PM - Forum: Pistols - Replies (8)

It seems like the last few years, any of the newer guns I have bought I have been disappointed with, having to send several back to the factory. 

Here is todays example. now this is not a new gun, but a newer used gun and I have had this one for awhile, but don't really shoot it that much, mainly because this issue with it really just bothers me, even though it is a very accurate shooter.

The gun is question is a early 2010s PARA USA Expert model 1911 in 45 ACP. I did buy this gun used, and it had a ugly set of hogue finger groove grips on it that I swapped out for a set of checkered double diamond walnut grips. I also did a series 80 delete on it, and swapped out the plastic trigger and main spring housing with aluminum ones. Overall the pistol is s pretty decent shooter grade 1911 and pretty danged accurate.

Group fired at I believe 25 yards. I had a set of extra Ruger rubber grips on it for a bit.

Anyway, the issue with this gun is that the beavertail grip safety is very poorly fit to the gun, and it bothers the crap out of me. I'm not sure how well this will show up in photos, but the bottom of the radius probably has 1/16 of a inch or better protruding past the edge of the frame.

Now sure, I could refit this safety or a new one, but that would require filing and blending to do it right, in which case I will have to have the gun refinished, and then I'm investing more money into something that shouldn't have been a issue in the first place in my opinion. And of course, in this example PARA doesn't exist anymore so I can't just sent the gun back to have the issue corrected.

Anyway, these is my millennial rant for the day. Maybe I'm just too picky.

A couple days ago I had a discussion on the repeater about quonset huts which I think are great buildings. My phone was on as it always is and now I'm seeing advertising on various websites for them. I've had that kind of thing happen before where something I've discussed in a phone call suddenly starts popping up.

  I think I need an intervention

I've never given a tinker's damn about sports but recently I find myself really getting into it. I'm watching my hometown team, Gonzaga University playing girls teams playing basketball and enjoying the heck out of it! Maybe Alzheimer's setting in?
Anyway, the Zags are currently winning, 43-52. Go Zags!
