Scored an SA-35!

In fact I do! His guns are worth a whole 'nother thread.

Lol’d, Latino, you know what I meant….

Who says conservative and diversity don’t mix? . This is a great place!

Rosewood or walnut would be my choice, unless it was Mastodon ivory.

PETA would come find you if you sported Wooley Mammoth panels?

Not Cuban, but I’ve got the shirts.

It doesn't get any better then Ramon Puig...

In South Florida, it gets you a second look, and sometimes, one of approval/appreciation.

Being not tucked in, a guyabera can help hide a waistband piece, too. Ah, in theory.

Yeah, I don’t know about not printing with a plain white woven Guyabera while salsa dancing, but if it has some nice artistic design printing? It will camouflage your pistol quite nicely.

Ok, have to ask... has it made you do the prone-fall-roll-to-the-side-while-shooting-ahead SAS drill yet? Successfully. With real bullets. At the range, if your wife is sensitive to loud noises in the basement?


If you have...you are a confirmed BHP afficianado.

I'm jealous!

This would be me. Except nowadays I'd only get rolled over on my back and be outta breath!

Now…Just waiting on the Ritchie Boys to make me a holster.

They are spectacular, congratulations!

What are those grips?

[Acmemfg]

Hogue Cocobolo

 

[Ad Astra]

Really enjoy the practicality of the SA-35 grip-frame, but the uglies got to me ... new wood grips on the way!

AA

 

[Ad Astra]

Now, you didn't think I was going to leave those plastic grips on the SA-35, did you?

Hogue Cocobolo. Not nearly as pretty as the grain on Tim's @Acmemfg but still, I think I'm going to keep them.

I was shooting for classic or semi-classic, and the traditional straight grain on these will do. The original walnut grips look dark and muddy next to these beauties.

Yeah, I like the flap holster thing. Tradition again, and the practicality of another mag.

I actually think the straight grain in those grip panels, gives it a more nostagic and proper time period kinda... Thing. Gives the gun and flap holster a more authentic look, feel... Thing.

 

[Acmemfg]

Holsters for the Hi-Power and an Glock 43X arrived.
Have to say the Ritchie Bros. know how to make a holster.
Also shown here is a rig for my Glock 43X and a CQ QR for my S&W Shield…the first ever holster they made me many, many years ago. It’s held up pretty well I would say.

 

[Ad Astra]

The polynines are fine, but wow! Lookit that SA-35 rig! And your Hogue grips look great on both sides. (Lot different than my red cocobolos).

Just got back from putting another hundred through mine. Sharing silhouette targets with a bud, kept all my shots but one in the head. I really really like that pistol. Zero malfs, of course...
