My B-day present to myself is a project gun I’ve nicknamed -
The Need for Speed 357 Rocket.

It’s my EXO G27/40.
With a Storm Lake extended ported 357 barrel (a la Jocko)
and a Ghost Rocket trigger (like our very own Melissa).
Estimated shipping was last Friday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew I was special ordering an unusual barrel.
So I had to order directly from Storm Lake.
Also, porting just wasn’t enough.
And I opted for a ridiculous and unnecessary Isonite finish be applied.
Adding up to 30 days to the order.

30 days later, 2/3/2012 arrives and no shipping notification?
I email SL and find the barrel will be completed this week.
Then sent out for Isonite finish (~2/3 weeks).
And finally UPS with an email and tracking numbers.
Looks like early, to mid, March before I can have my 9mm/357/40 shoot off.

Happy late B-day to me!
Best laid plans right???

naw, you do just like I do. Start a project, buy a gun that has to go back, etc. just before I've got to go out of the country. LOL

BTW - that 638 was supposed to be my birthday present from me to me.

Don't we give ourselves the best gifts?
So thoughtful.

Happy B-day!

My 638 was my Christmas present to myself. ;)
