Actually, this one I fitted 2 barrels. One in .38 Super and the other in 9mm. I use this pistol for stock class (production class). For USPSA and IPSC I use the .38 Super barrel. For IDPA, I use the 9mm barrel. Mainly because there are more 9mm shooters in IDPA and they always pick up my brass, by mistake.

There are some really talented folks here.

Considering 99% of us have 'day jobs', it's amazing we find the time to create awesome 'schtuff.' I think its a 'man thing.' We feel the need to build things to counter-act our non-fulfilling 'day jobs.' Not that we don't "like" our day jobs. Take me, for example, as an LEO I don't get the opportunity at the end of the day to step back and say "I built THAT." So, I build stuff at home. I like my job and wouldn't do anything else for a living, but the fact remains that while I do feel good about the things I do at work, its something that is here today and gone tomorrow. Building stuff at home, is something that I can look back on years down the road and recall everything about the process. Some of the tings I helped my late Father build years and years ago, are, to some, mere eyesores. However, I can remember 99% of the process it took to build it. Memories and that 'eyesore' is all I have left of my Father.

OK...I gotta stop now...can't see the keyboard!


Awesome work here guys. Keep posting them. I'm gettin' ideas.

That says it all for me too. I only find real fulfillment in working with my hands and creating.

I have a couch in my living room that I helped my father with. We cut the trees down on his farm and sawed them on his mill. It sits more like a church pew but I will never get rid of it! I can't remember the exact year but it has been over 40 ago.

Solid !

That looks great! And I imagine it brings many many fine memories
