#1 Post by Mothman »

Hi all,
went down to Helston this afternoon and picked up this GSG 1911 long barrel pistol. Hopefully i will be at the ranges having some fun in the new year.

A very happy Christmas to you all.

I bought one of these a few months ago - great fun, I swapped the hand guards out you have for some black Hogue rubber ones - feel much better in the hand.

If you want to swap - you'll have to mill / file / cut some out of the back side of the grip to clear the coat hanger wire. I did this and it came out almost as if it was factory fitted.

Have a look at the +4 followers for the magazines, you can also get extended bases that +3 the round count for a total of 17 rounds per mag. Black Rifles has the mags at 32 quid but I think I got the last 2.

Finally - the dummy mod will start to seperate at the ends such that you'll see lovely fresh ally staring back at you after a few mags - try some loctite to secure it? (I haven't done this - it doesn't particularly bother me.......yet)

Would not sell my Sig at any price. I do not know how many Mike sold but it must be only a handful.

The k22 is superb. I'm 2,000 rounds and two years into mine now. Great great kit and exceptional service from Scott and Feroza.

I also hope the Sig is not lost to the Uk. A Baretta and or Glock would also be good news. Just need the Uk shooters to wake up to the joys of shooting pistols even if in LBP format. Better than nothing, I still miss my Colt 357 Python 6" but at least I have owned one and a few other pistols back in the old days.
