i havent bought much in the way of infi lately. :(


but i did score a punkin gw in skunk's ganza, and bought my first granfors bruks, a camp hatchet.

also, recently bought this defender, my first colt. my agency recently authorized on duty carry of 1911's, so bought it for off duty use.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ME!!!!!!!!:p:p


and some obligatory gw comparison shots for you HOGS!!! :D

Congrats Mark!

That's a nice looking Defender and GW:thumbup: Nice ax as well
 
Nice new toys! What is that bottom fatty GW with the greenish scales?
 
what do you think of the colt so far???

it was down to the kimber cdp compact and this colt. i chose the colt because:

1. its a colt.
2. hammer forged versus cast parts
3. colt's aren't so easy to come by in california. this was the only one in the system.
4. i could sell it if i hated it and get back nearly all my money.


after about 500 rounds, i love it!!! not nearly as jumpy as i had anticipated. the hogues, which i am not a fan of, feel great with this little guy.

i had two malfunctions. both were stovepiped live rounds with an empty chamber. :confused: both were within the first 50 rounds.

i dehorned it a bit. the edges were almost as sharp as the gw!!! my right thumb got pretty torn up by the thumb safety catch. a little sandpaper and a buffing wheel and problem solved.

i do plan on adding a wilson combat ambi safety. the colt one is tiny. mabye a larger beavertail and night sights as well.


i know, i know. i could have gotten all that on the stock kimber.

but then i wouldnt have a COLT. :D
 
Wow. I post one thread with a GB in it, and they start coming out of the woodwork. :eek: :D

Nice combos, guys! :thumbup:

Those are little beauties! Maybe I should start with a GW then move up to the Badger Attack. What does one do!!!! Thanks for the pics. Morimotom, is your #28 Badger satin finish?

M- Great pics! I envy the Colt. ;)

Lycosa- You need both! ;) The Game Warden is a great EDC, though I'm a bit more partial to the Active Duty in that role. The BATAC is a great all-around blade. Aaaahhh... the allure of INFI! Of course, if you wait out the "two weeks," we should be seeing direct-from-Busse Combat Grade Anniversary Steel Heart 1's. Decisions, decisions.
 
Thanks Paddling Man. I think I'll wait although it would be nice to get a GW right NOW. The INFI is calling me. It's funny, I've looked Busses before and noth'n happened but now I can't stop thinking about 'em!
