    Sorry sir, sent you a Pm have been offline for a few days, weather has been mind and body numbing here for the last week, I live in the country and there is a lot to consider when temps reach that low and snow starts flying. With no wind break, and everything running off electricity, with a...

    Integrity Arms Custom PistolSmithing~!

    You're still a youngin Mike I am 54 and didn't start until 50 Still a ton to learn but, once your into it, you don't have much choice but to learn more. Seeing how the 1911 really is a functioning machine totally integrated around the total sum of it's parts. It becomes a bit overwhelming at...

    question about a 'sleeper' pistol....

    Aesthetics are nice, but just like construction if the foundation is no good what's sitting on top will just fail. Seen plenty of nice looking guns that just shoot okay. Heck some major manufacturers build a bunch of those lol

    question about a 'sleeper' pistol....

    The one's I've been dealing with aren't looking for fluff and buff. New Kart fit barrels, tightening of slide and frame, new GS fit barrel bushing, New HD ignition sets, new MS housings, New retro tool steel hammers, and TS.. What's under the hood not what's outside. That is a sleeper. Surely...

    question about a 'sleeper' pistol....

    I too prefer this feature on any gun.. Sleeper doesn't have to mean it doesn't have just a touch of Flare imho.. I think for me a sleeper is more of a off the shelf cheaper version pistol.. that is bumped up supremely under the hood so to speak. And just about any avg. 1911 could qualify.. I...

    What’s Your Next Project

    Well here is a Stan Chen Gen II magwell installed.. I also fashioned the grips to fit, added challis bushings and screws, and bead blasted the entire pistol to match.. I am pretty happy with the way this turned out and very impressed with the quality and fit of this master craftsman's (Stan...

    Question for the more knowledgable....

    I don't doubt they are feeling out the market with the single shot bolt action to see the response they may very well come out with a semi-auto before long. I believe it would make a heck of a varmint rifle and probably a ton of fun to shoot. If only the ammo wasn't so expensive. Have to wonder...

    Question for the more knowledgable....

    They been building them old boys for awhile now.. What I have recently found to be very interesting is they now have a TCM rifle. And instead of 2800 FPS like advertised out of the pistol they are saying it was either 3250 or 3500 fps on that bad boy. Only come with a 5 round mag, but says the...

    Question for the more knowledgable....

    Heavy but decent guns, I had one each of their Officers Tact II one in 9mm and one in .45 loved em both. Ended up nickel plating the .45 small parts and Gold plating the 9mm parts. As well as a FS customized 9mm that turned out quite nicely..

    Question for the more knowledgable....

    Not a big fan of Kimber myself but their SS round butt ms housing I got awhile back for a conversion was pretty decent. It was actually a surprise delivery however as the original order the lady claimed she was sending me a plastic one, but when it arrived it was SS and had vertical serrations...
