Ohhh I like that a lot!

P2000 LEM
HK45 CT
P7M8 (hard chromed by Rodger Kotanko)

If you ever get rid of the p7m8 or the p2000 let me know.

 

[gdawg]

Very nice. Would love a commander like that in 38 super.

I recently sent some stuff off to Rodger and he was telling me about how he chromed the P7s. He does good work.

Add an 18yr old blonde to that, and mid life crisis solved

I'd settle with 25 blond, redhead or brunette...…. she'll still be younger than me when i'm old and grey.

Beautiful old school pistol for us old school guys.

Too old for young blonds but I can still look.

My wife is a Filipino. She’s looked 20 since she was 20. She’s 30 now and just as fun sized as when I met her
Now if she’ll only let me buy a Porscha

 

[bellero]

Wow! She's a beaut!

Beautiful pistol but there is something about an HK Mark 23 that can't be explained.

Overrated, had one for ten years. However it was the second most accurate .45 I owned, first being my Les Baer (keeping that one)

Nice Looking pistol . very clean looking . as for buddy up above he's more than likely on the phone over seas to his Mom or Dad saying I need more coin for another car.

And a Porche

And a Harley.

OP: Super nice custom Colt. Great choice for this time in your life!

Nice gun.
I thought everyone on CGN knew the cure for a mid life crisis.

BUY MORE GUNS.

Not sure "when" mid-life crisis is supposed to be... but seems like finding time to shoot is more of an issue than buying more guns.

This been said, a pro-gun wife that likes to shoot is hard to beat.

Best part of getting old

Very nice.

But you should keep at least one of those polymer guns.
They do have their place.

Yes, everyone needs a paper weight .... :>)

I've bought a few strikers but you're right, it's the metal that brings me the most joy. Nothing like a good, solid all-steel firearm in the hand.

I've got a pair of Remington 'Commanders' in .45 ACP; one stainless, the other a 'melted' blue model. Both came with good triggers out of the box. Best 1911s I own and I rarely shoot my 5" Gov't models any more. They are the size a 1911 should have been from the get-go.
Recently I re-audited the IPSC 'Black Badge'; course using the SS model. We each fired over 600 rds during the two days. One other dinosaur used the 'antedeluvian' 1911, his a 5" Gov't model with an optical site. We kicked ass amongst the 9mm 'poodle shooters' using the usual Glocks, CZs and S&Ws used in the game.

Amen to that! I've got a shooting wife that buys her own guns. I just do the cleaning and reloading. No attitude when I go shooting. She's into IPSC and runs our CAS club where she shoots pair of 7-1/2" 44-40s. Yes, she's younger than I am.

You may be on to something here.

Now that you mentioned it, I just realized that I don't own any plastic guns.

If he wants to enjoy life, he will run from the female types!

If it floats, flies or f____ it's cheaper to rent... change my mind...

I am not surprised. A good shooter can outperform someone who relies on gadgetry. I have a lot of respect for people who use the classics well instead of flavours of the month.

Your so right.

Back a number of years ago a friend of mine won the provincial pistol championships using a police issue Colt Police Positive with the normal fixed sites and police issued ammo..

He beat out guys that were using $2000 dollar guns and hand loaded ammunition.

Sometimes you need a plastic handgun.
