New LBP: Love it or Hate it!

#1 Post by Gh0st »

So i picked up my new LBP today.

As many of you will know its been a while coming. What started off as an Idea to bring a glock to the UK has turned into something very different.

I’m really happy with it.

It’s a one off and will not be produced in mass or at all. It’s a Ballistic Arms .22 based on a Ruger MKIV.

I had it painted in Green to be a bit different from all the other black guns. I may even call it Troll green just for the non believers on here.

Let the fun begin!

P.s. I’ve included a pic of the Glock as well just to show it existed :run:

Apologies for the poor lighting of the Ruger photos! I was too excited to use the DSLR and Lighting rig...

Here’s the glock

Looks great, would be interested to hear how it shoots of course but I love the colour.

That is pretty hideous.. let me know when you will be at Frome and i'll bring my sunglasses.

You now need a supply of powder coated rounds to go with it.

Didn’t know that was a thing! Lol

It’s not that bright in real life, it has a satin finish! I was going to be down tonight, but sadly holiday has got in the way...

Looks good! In all seriousness, the Ruger MkIV is a very popular pistol in the US so I wouldn't be surprised if you get on with it well!

Looking forward to seeing a range report in due course.

So after all of that massive thread we had, the glock isn't coming and you got a pistol nobody else can get?
Does that just about sum it up?

The Ruger looks good, but not the colour.

Basically. I did say this before. Glock not suitable due to reliability. Went for the ruger.
