Just received it from Gunnar at ARMCO. Thanks!

Hey it is a restricted firearm, did the cat hold the restricted PAL?

Very nice gun indeed.

BTW, it is a 45ACP. Yes the cat carries

Nice gun!

I got one of those on Monday from Gunnar too. They are very nice.

My buddy, "PIER" here on CGN, just got one in last week from the mighty "Gunnar" as well. Hasn't had a chance to shoot it yet.

Preliminary examination indicates excellent fit and ad finish, especially considering the price paid.

Fellow member at the club just got a Trojan in .40 SW.

Was that mag well stock? - can't recall if the one I looked at had it or not.

Enjoy!

 

[Gibbs505]

No, the mag well was extra and woth it!!.
Just got back from the range after running a box through the pistol.
All I can say is WOW!!!!

 

[Corey3]

Gunnar does a nice trigger job on the guns too, mine is very nice.

Gibbs, you added a magwell and an ambi safety, right? I think it's amazing that with so little extra, you've got a really competitive 45. Great pistol!

 

[KaiBosh]

I have one, love it more every time I shoot it. I got it with a Hogue grip and threw that on right away, it looks and feels damned good IMHO.

What's with gun people and cats?

Indeed, I love that magwell already!

 

[smartbomb]

Woo hoo! I just got mine too.
From Gunnar as well.

Did you find that this gun was a ##### to reassemble after a field strip? Or is it just me... something tells me its just me. lol

No, it's not just you!!

Congrats guys, I love my Spartan more every time I take it out. Incredibly accurate, and feels like a gun worth five times as much. Mine was 'Gunnarized' as well, and I put Hogue grips on mine which some people might not find aesthetically pleasing but it fits my hand perfectly.

Still need to get an ambi-safety put on it, and wouldn't mind a magwell at some point. Make sure to pick up some extra mags from Gunnar, those Italian mags are awesome.

 

[smartbomb]

I just found that the bushings can't be turned as easily as some... I need that damn tool.

 

[Gibbs505]

Yes, the bushing on mine is pretty tight as well! That tool comes in handy!

 

[smartbomb]

Hey Gibbs, does yours have this little plastic thingy on the guide rod? Wtf is that? lol

 

[Gibbs505]

If what I am thinking of is the same, the norinco had it as well!
