    My slow, dark descent into poverty the world of Beretta 92s continued today. Picked this up from another member. LTT Elite 92

    Since I sold off my P365 setup to a member on here, I just bought two of these. Promo Code "SHIELDOR" brings down the cost to $349.99 a piece. $757 after tax + free shipping

    Shield Plus Optics Ready with Night Sights (only annoyance is the thumb safety but minor and not a dealbreaker)

    Actually, I bought it yesterday, but it won't arrive until Friday, fingers crossed.
    I got an almost new Blackhawk in .41 magnum off GB... 4 5/8" barrel, blued, with custom made maple burl grips.
    I will post pics when it arrives..... If I wasn't such a tough guy, I'd admit to being excited as a kid on Christmas eve....

    Do you reload? I have just received a bunch of new Starline brass. If you could use some, let me know.

    The colt is well used, which is a shame because it’s semi-valuable. Debating if I should restore it, customize it, or just let it bask in it’s worn glory. Apparently it was a LE carry gun.

    Yes I do... reload, cast, I have all the bad habits. Well, except swaging.... I don't swage. :)

    I really appreciate the offer... very nice of you.. I ordered 100 from Midway, along with dies... and have a mold coming off fleabay.... hopefully that will get me started.

    I used to have all that stuff, not too long ago...... well, actually, it WAS a long time ago... back in the mid 80's or so...

    my memory is not nearly as good as I remember it being.... :(:rolleyes:

    It’s gouged up pretty good, sad for a MKIV and yeah, I much prefer a set of classic medallion grips.

    good thing about stainless.... a short session with someone talented at beadblasting, and you're good to go....
    That's a nice 1911... barely broken in... :)

    It's funny..... I saw a really nice used Kimber at the FTW gunshow last weekend, at a relatively decent price.... and it had "Punisher" grips on it....
    That's the first thing I said...... "those grips would have to go...."
    Personally, I like stippled or checkered ebony....

    I think i've got a couple sets of old rubber colt grips that look a little better. but may eventually get a nice lighter tone wood. we'll see.
    I may start customizing it since it's so worn... why not. All my other 1911s are very lightly used and in good condition. Might as well play with this one.

    As promised.... it arrived today.. I'll have to figure out how to get a pic that really shows the complexity of the grain in these grips... this is a really nice Blackhawk. I don't know if it's even been fired....
