  1. While I admit to being a rabid AAP-01 fan, I am also a fan of the P09. Have had a few for several years and they do last pretty well. I do have one that I may have worn out as I am getting light hammer strikes and the trigger is doing something as well (I'll get 1 good double action trigger pull and then the next double action pull barely cocks the hammer back enough to reliably fire). But this pistol has had thousands of shots through it so It might be time to strip it down for parts.

    I really like the looks of the Shadow 2. It does seem to be pretty heavy and it means another batch of different magazines to stock up on, but I might give it a go.

  2. They have finally arrived at Evike, but I'm still on the fence as I'm not seeing too many positive reviews. My initial plan was to use the Mk3 slide on the Mk1 frame as I owned a real steel in that configuration many years ago (I love the coned hammer look). However, I dont know if the new slide will work on the Mk1 or if the magazines are compatible either.

    Has anyone tried this?

     

  3. I have always loved the Detonics (I had a MC-1 many years ago and wish I hadnt been talked out of it).. How does the ARMY version hold up? I have the TM and it's always been one of may favorite "fun guns" but always wanted it in metal but didnt want to go to the expense of the kit.

  4. Oh my goodness.. my Grandfather taught me how to shoot a pistol with that exact model (he also had a 6 inch target length barrel that came with it). Then went on to a S&W 1917 revolver (I still have it and its in great shape), a trophy Luger and a 1911a1.

    I'd love to find one of those Colt Woodsman pistols. I never knew they existed. Even if its just a springer..I dont care.

  5. Just started making the list of the few movies that he is in and not in my collection. Have all the Bond films, The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, Zardoz (cough cough) and some others. I still remember my parents taking me to see You Only Live Twice at the cinema when it came out. Good times. Good actor. Will be missed.

    Nice PPK!

  6. This is available to me from Evike. I really like the look and most of the performance reports you are giving. However, you do make mention of some issues that concern me. For what this pistol costs, I dont like the possibility that its not going to be "ready to go right out of the box". I'd like to hear more from other owners before I spend good money on this.

    I am looking forward to your next installment. You've done a great job with this.

  7. I like it. I'd buy one. Put a thread adapter on it and find a light weight surpressor and I'd be good to go.

    After nearly two months of "stay at home" I've spent my time repairing my TM PX4 (it works fine now), Sci-Fi ing out a H8R revolver (looks funky and shoots great) and took a WE ISSC M22 and threw on a Ace1Arms Red Dot sight and mount for a TM G Series (perfect fit), Guarder G17 front sight, Nightstick weapon light (the only one that includes a mounting plate that actually fits that rail), a threaded barrel adapter and use WE "light-weight" G17 magazines. Wonder of wonders, it shoots really really well. Cleaned barrels and lubed about 80% of my collection (and found stuff I didnt remember I had).

    My wife was thrilled ;) 

  8. Wait...you have two of these?! Thats just not no fair. I renew my earlier statement "Give it to me. I must have it now".

    Actually, I like the fact that you are actually "fielding" this one a lot, which is where it belongs.

    Very envious. Good for you.

  9. Kongsberg M1914 is just plain wonderful. Always liked the look. TM would do well for itself to make one before bringing out another "plain" 1911 or Hi-Capa.

    Base the system on the new M45A1 gas system.

    While they are at it, they can make a actual Combat Commander (without the coned barrel)!
