I'm leaving my stainless models with non threaded barrels so no comment there. But if you could track down a USP45CT it would be my pick. They only go up in value. Since you already have the MK23 I'd l'd save the 45Tactical until later. You could always go USP9 Tactical and get a jet funnel kit for a nice suppressed 9mm setup as well. |

My wife commissioned this Cabot Damascus 1911 as a surprise to celebrate the upcoming birth of our daughter. She gave it to me at the diaper shower. Cabot loved the build so much they now sell it as the "Serenity" with a light rail built in. This is the original. All the parts are stainless, down to the solid sights, grips, and screws. I still get goosebumps when I handle it. It will be passed down to our daughter Emma and from her to her children one day. I hope it stays in our family forever. It's priceless to me.

Thanks, I have a line on a USP45C with 6 mags in excellent condition and will just wait for the thread barrel to become available, $900+300 is a lot cheaper than what OG USP45CTs go for $2k+, could even upgrade the trigger and still be cheaper. Perhaps some day get a HK45 some model as they are cheaper and easily available, just realized the Compact models have more of a USP grip where the full size is VP/P30 like. Really want a stainless USP of some sort.

My LGS gets the Standard Damascus models in every so often, they are soooooo beautiful. Always trying to sucker my buddy into getting one.

Looks great. Does the thumb safety have an extra shelf? |

Dwx compact arrived yesterday. Quick 100 rounds with no issues. We shot from 12ft-75ft. 50 rds jhp and 50 rds fmj. My Henning baseplates arrived today for the MecGar compatible mags and 1911 screws work with the LOK grips. Will run another hundred rounds through it tonight if time permits. We’re usually busy on Friday nights.

I was finally able to find some 6.5 grendel match ammo in town, so sent a few first rounds through my Atheris with the Primary Arms ACSS Apollo. Goal was to see if it was even on paper and it was. Photo is first 5 before any adjustments at 100yds. Optics were too far back, so I moved em a notch forward and then dialed in with a group the size of a quarter. Now I need to find someone with some good distance. I eventually wanna reach out to 1000. I'm told it's doable but it's a stretch for the grendel.
Also got the fiance on the Obsidian Arms 5.56. She had a few things working against her and she still managed to walk the ball down the lane. Shes right handed but left eye dominant, hasn't fired a rifle in 10+ years and was wobbly as hell (hence the resting mag), ear muffs were in the way of a good weld, and still have the pistol brace on. But all I wanted was her to get a feel for it and see it wasn't going to break her shoulder lol.

6.5 Grendal for 1,000 shooting??? Yes it will make it, but will be 10 foot high at 350 yards to make it and arrive with about 400 ft/lbs of energey left! LOL A measly 10 mph 3 oclock wind will drift it close to 8 feet! I have an ARC which is still not a ton of fun at that range unless you are FAR better at reading wind than I am. =) But hey - all shooting is fun right! That is the reason we build them.

I've thought about building a 6.5 cred or PRC. Not only will be better to reach farther, but ammo seems to always be available in store. Thought I do need to set up a bench to load my own, I just don't have room at my current house.

Better than my 458 Socom which I think I would have to point at the moon to hit something 1000yds LOL

Broke my new Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite in Sunday and it was great as expected. Already have the VQ trigger kit coming. My TK parts arrived so probably install them tomorrow.
Also built another AR lol. Next up, build a AR-9 rifle.

We make the only brass for it right now for PCP/Gorilla. It's getting close to being made available to consumers though, so that should help. Availability of components can hold a cartridge back. Once we get our obligations to them fullfilled (2020 rush killed this) we will sell it for reloading.

And for fun - I had to run the 458 SOCOM!!! With a 1,000 zero - you'd be 45.6 FEET high at 560 yards to make it!!! LMAO For scale - that is 12.5 feet high at 100, so the moon shot is real. Arrives at 1,000 at 657.41 FPS but still has 239.88 Ft/Lbs of energy with the 250 gr Hornady FTX Same 3 oclock 10mph wind would push it 23.8 feet at 1,000 too.

Might be the first confirmed kill at 1,000 yards that went into the victim at the top of his head and came out his foot............

When I ask my ammo guys they usually say I am the only one who asks. But a builder had a 8.6 on display recently which surprised me. Been seeing a bunch of builds posted so it is gaining some traction, think I got the 8.6 idea about 6m ago. Q is coming out with a setup so that will help. I need to order some from Gorilla, rare I don't have the caliber in stock before my build is done. People bring up the price per round, but I already have so many exp calibers, I think Gorilla 8.6 is cheaper than what I pay for 458 socom.

I haven't taken mine apart yet, but I wonder if a regular 1911 ambi safety would fit.
