Midwest Industries Quad Rails



After replacing the stock onb my AR 15, the tech did not replace the spring.  The result was a crushed retaining spring that had to be replaced.  I also replaced the front platic grips with new Midwest Industries Quad Rails.  They are free floating so nothing touches the barrel.  They also look super Evil!

1954 7.62x39mm rifle

On this beautiful sunny November day, I  tried out a 1954 7.62x39mm rifle.
Man, this gun was fun!  Super accurate.  In fact, my shots were grouped at about 2".  Lots of fun and comes standard with a very cool (and lethal) bayonette.  There are many very cool people at Silverdale who invite you to try their firearms.  I like that.  Hopefully next week my Stag AR 15 will be ready with the new buffer retainer spring and quadrail.  Can't wait!

My new CZ 75 SP01 Shadow Canadian Edition


Today is a good day!  I picked up my CZ 75 SP01 Shadow Canadian Edition in silver.
Having seen the difficulty to optain one, I had to grab one while I could.  I really wanted to wait till spring but I really, really, wanted to make sure I could get one.  The very first shot was bang on- in the center of the center of the bull!  The accuracy of this  gun is like nothing I've experienced in my short tenure as a shooter.  However, many far more experienced shooters shay it's the best 9mm out of the box.  The CZ Canadian editions are sent fromCZ to USA where the CZ gunsmith burnishes the interior parts and barrel, enhances the hammer, replaced the recoil spring with an 11 lb spring and fully tunes the trigger.  The fibre optic sights make for easy target aquisiton and yours truly has fallen in love with this hot lil Canadian edition. What a piece! :)

Cz 75 SP01 Shadow: Canadian Edition

I had heard a lot about the CZ 75 Shadow made in Czechoslovakia.
It was designed in 1975 and has since become immensley popular with military, police, security, competitive shooters and shooting hobbyists.
  A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to shoot 2 magazines through an aquaintance's CZ in black.
Wow! I was amazed.  Not looking to purchase another 9mm, I was helpless to my desire to own one.
After some research, I found it was difficult to find one, but like most things, it's usually right under one's nose.  In my case, Seth at Lanz Shooting Supplies had a few that were going fast.  I made a call to the shop and his wife Sarah put one aside for me.
 The Canadian edition comes in black or stainless.  I went with the stainless.  They are also sent to a CZ gunsmith in US who tunes the trigger, enhances the hammer, tricks out an 11 lb recoil spring and equips them with fibre optic sights.  The grips are in red and laser engraved with our maple leaf.  I am a strong lover of our country and have one more reason to love it even more! 
  I aquired a new Bladetech holster for it , and after reconfiguring my mag pouches... I have my pistol and rig that I'll use for competion this year.

Sig Sauer 1911 Disassembled

YouTube can be a fantastic tool to learn just about anything.  However, when I looked at the videos on how to disassemble a Sig 1911 .22 I found my instructer "Billy Bob" from Alabama who carefully walked me through the intricate nuances of disassembling this precicion weapon!
"Well, you take dis thingy here and den grab the end of this whatmacallit and remove dis thingamajig and der you have it..all done!" Funny as hell, but nonetheless...dat video thingy really helped me ya'll!

A Really Really Close view of my Trigger Finger!


Recently I've had some pain and swelling throughout my findex finger and I thought it would be hilarious to give you a closer look!  Turns out there's some tendon strain and arthritis from years of damage.  The specialist gave me a shot of steroids that acts as an anti-infalmmatory.  Hope you like this closeup view of my pistol hand! lol!

Seahorse Quick Draw Pistol case


Here's my new Seahorse waterproof Quick Draw pistol case that holds 4 pistols with 5" barrels, up to 8 magazines, two revolver quickload spools and a spot for additional items.  I like the fact that the firearms are well protected  while at the range and you don't have to fiddle with a bunch of locks and cases.
