Did you do that stippling job yourself on the 19? I think that looks great. I'm used to just seeing the small indention type of stippling, those little waves look perfect! How was that done?

Yes, I defaced my own Glock. Very aggressive herring bone pattern (abrades my love handles) was done with an electric soldering pen with the tip ground to a chisel point. Rounded the trigger guard and cut the magazine well cut outs.
Congrats on the new Sig!
I don't know why you said the ugliest Glock. That herring bone stippling looks good. That can't be the first time you did that. Cuz it looks like you had practice. I like how you left the regular traction between the finger grooves.
I like the mods on your holster as well. The wide bottom for support and then tapering towards the top makes all the sense in the world to me for support + comfort + performance for the draw.
Actually that picture is of the stock condition of the holster. I'll post a modified picture later. I like them to be slick like a worn bar of soap, minimal protrusions. That is the first time I mod'd a polymer frame.
Quoted for posterity. John likes worn soap.
I might have to send you a Christmas card this year. Along with my Gen4 frame?

But does it take a bayonet?
It does have a cool primitive tribal ethos kinda thing going on...certainly nothing else like it!
Brought every single firearm I own out for some fun.
Mosin Nagant 91/30 from 1941. Shot mostly Yugoslavia surplus heavy ball. I REALLY need a recoil pad!
Springfield-Savage 22lr. Testing a bunch of different ammo types I bought. Found out in not a big Federal fan, but I really like Aguila and CCI.
FEG B9R (380 auto). Mainly just ran through a few mags to keep my eye in with something other than a revolver. Currently using PMC Bronze as my preferred range ammo.
Alfa revolver in 32-20. Testing out some reloads, and 3.4grains of Unique behind a 115 grain hard lead bullet works nicely.
Cimarron Frontier in 357 Magnum. Also testing reloads. 4.8 grains of Unique behind a 140 (or 145, I forget) grain Sierra JHP works a treat. Seems to prefer CCI primers over Winchester, but both work.
Only had 1 hiccup. Evidently when I tightened up the screws on Cimarron the other day, I neglected to tighten the latch that holds the cylinder pin in place. Boing! Came off after the last round and disappeared into the mud. Ordered a new one from Cimarron immediately to the tune of $12. Oops!

Was that Alfa revolver you took out the CZ, and where did you find one?
You probably saw my post in the Cimarron .45 thread that I was dry firing it and apparently the cylinder pin screw, which is in the front of the frame on my old model, had loosened and the cylinder pin fell out by gravity. Some blue loctite fixed things up real well.
How did the Alpha shoot?
Took the Glock 20 and Glock 43X to the range today. 200 rounds of 10mm and 9mm thru both.
10mm=$$$
Dang. Must be at least defense loads? Didn’t know it was that expensive.A buck a bullet...
There's cheaper self defense and bear ammo out there. I like Gold Dot. Probably go with Buffalo Bore for Bear. Heard hard cast is good. Haven't had my G20 very long, so still playing around with what she likes.
