Nice!

[LA Pork Butt]

You use that if the BBQ is till moving?

[WI Bubba]

A rather unique way to check for probe tender, but a very cool one.

[Spinaker]

Just reminds me of that scene in My, Myself and Irene.

[texastweeter]

Or the chicken scene in Reno 911

[Duanessmokedmeats]

You use that if someone is moving your grill/smoker.

[Ace]

Beautiful weapon...

[Uncle Bob]

Saw those earlier this year and was tempted to.....um.....pull the trigger, but didn't. Glad to see someone I know whose got one.

[jfmorris]

Wow! That is one beautiful pistol! Neither of my Springfield XD-M's are that pretty... I really need to get a 911.

[texastweeter]

No such thing Carolyn

[jfmorris]

Carolyn haha actually, my gun cabinet is currently pretty packed, but only because I am holding 2 rifles with scopes, a shotgun and a revolver for my son in law. He asked me to store it when they put their house on the market back last November, and he has yet to ask for any of it back. Apparently the realtors will not show homes with guns stored in them, even locked away. And he has no cabinet or safe yet in the new house.

[jfmorris]

texastweeter So true!

Carolyn I will admit to having more firearms than cookers at the moment, along with a generous amount of ammo for each caliber.

I think I need to start dating my ammo boxes like I do my food in the freezer, so that I use the oldest stuff first... never thought of doing that until just now.

That’s a Sunday carry only pistol. To those of you that are wondering, yes several of the men in our church have concealed weapons on them. We also lock the doors once the services start with one of us there to let late comers in. Church security is a real thing now in most churches.

[Purc]

Our Church code from the pulpit is ",,, Those who can turn to John 357 ! "

[jfmorris]

Security has unfortunately had to be a thing, especially in larger churches, for quite a few years now.

[realdocBBQ]

Hellz, yes. I never go in the building without carrying. Usually a pistol, sometimes a rifle. And no one ever knows. lol

[jayjordan]

Beautiful weapon.

[yakima]

Nice. Good protection for expensive brisket.
Preban ivory slabs would look great. I put them on a factory engraved Colt Python which had belonged to Baby Doc Duvalier, which was "liberated" under opaque circumstances.

I have an original US Army 1911, with 2 toned magazine and lanyard loop, circa 1918. I have read that they were/are hard to shoot. I don't get it.

[Oak Smoke]

I have a friend who ordered a set of grips made from mammoth ivory. They are available online.

[texastweeter]

Oak Smoke, I have some mammoth grips, also have moter of pearl that reside on my 1972 Colt Detective Special.

[OC Sandy]

Uh oh, I might be a little envious. My 1911 isn't that pretty.

[Uncle Bob]

All 1911's is purdy, just somes is purdier than others...

[synodog]

I do want to get a 1911 just to say I have one. My shooting buddies all have at least one. I doubt I’ll ever get one as beautiful as that.

[texastweeter]

Also, Springfield has the Mil-Spec 58limited

[58limited]

Yep, but at the time the Auto Ordinance was cheaper as a used piece on Gunbroker, less than 50 rounds fired trough it when I bought it.

[jfmorris]

This is kind of why I want one - just to have one, and shoot it on occasion. I shoot mostly 9mm and .22LR, so that I can shoot more, but I would love to have a nice .45 like that.

[DavidNorcross]

VERY nice.
