I know. The plastic furniture is a bit Meh. I am tying to find a maker of laminate stock/forearm for it. Some black/white/silver would be sweet! Here is member Sirtexan with it at our last meet!Quote:

You might try a call to them, they can do semi custom stuff

Also my info says that these guys took over where Fajen left off

Thanks for the links, Glen! My only reservation has always been additional weight. Thoughts?
It's all good if you don't like plastic on your weapons, but I love mine more than a non-carrier can understand.

You can make some adjustment for a lighter weight with careful drilling and skeletonizing "Maybe" just depends on the inletting design..
Just a WAG as I have never tried to do it, most of what I built was for LRS so the weight was a bonus
I do have an old Fajen stock in the Black and Grey Laminate and it is good looking stuff on SS ...
As I stated earlier I like the 19 and the 229 but the firearm that is with me all the time is a little 25 pocket pistol made in 1902 in Spain and you know at close range in the right spot it would be as good as either of the others I have that might be left at home.
Brought to mind what a guy on the Firing Line Forum said, "The 380 in your pocket is better than the 45 you left at home." Also, this thread has run so long I don't recall whether I posted this before but ....... Mickey Featherstone was a hit man for a NY gang called the Westies 40 or so years ago. Sort of a latter day 'Murder Inc' for Castellano, and Gotti. Featherstone used a Browning .25acp to accomplish his hits. Head shots.Quote:

Yep. Everything prints with me, so I have my little buddy. PT 22.
back in the day,1969 when I was at stanford and they started the heart transplant program.
Alot of our donors were head gunshot wounds,(braindead) I ran the heart lung machines on many transplants.
One of the pathologists told me something I have never forgot,A .22 caliber to the head is almost always a death sentance because the rnd do's not have enough energy to exit the cranium,what is do's is wizz around inside and destroys the entire brain.
