Barth Approves of the Colonel's Work -

Does Barth always talk in the third person?

I’d surmise that one of his other personalities made that post.💆

While doing the paperwork at my local gunshop on another old Mossberg 22 rifle I spotted this and with very little shin kicking, it's coming to my toy box. After a horrible 10 day waiting period of course. Get it Jan 3. I hate waiting periods.
Kimber Custom Lightweight. Full size 9mm

A nice color combo. But a full size 9mm? You're not getting soft on .45 are you?

No way! Just preparing for the future. I'm getting softer by the day. Still wear a 45 everyday.

medezyner approves of Colonels work. Did a set of grips for my vintage 9mm Commander. Myrtle wood & colt inserts...very nice. Unfortunately, I couldn't get that P.O.S. to run reliable. Shot it (or tried to) in one Steel Challenge. I did everything at the time to get it to run right and it was accurate between the jams, but sadly, it was all lipstick on a pig. Just sad.

I still have the note you sent me on a sticky note hanging on my safe. So what did you replace the Commander with? Need wood?
I started to ponder some this morning for Dao but didn't get very far, tomorrow's another day and the day after that too.

I eventually replaced it with a Kimber Target long slide. I converted it to a Rowland 460 and then upgraded with a Stan Chen mag well, G10’s and springs. I got it to run 100% with all ammo AND it was pretty accurate. My last addition was a MRD and I hunted with it for 3 years.

Here it is prior to adding the MRD. The 460 Rowland turned some heads at the range: "what the **** is that!"
