Ordered a new Pistol

[smdave]

Here is the sights I put on my Ruger 22/45 and I also did the 1911 grip modification,  Volquartsen  Accurizing Kit, Volquartsen target hammer, Volquartsen extractor and really like the way it feels and shoots. It was a really nice gun originally I just wanted to play I think I spent as much on the upgrades as the gun cost me

Here is the website that describes the grip modification and other upgrades.

Have a Ruger MKI BB that I absolutely love.  Shooting machine with cheap ammo.  Shoots as almost as good with Wal Mart junk as Eley.

Here is a picture of my Ruger 22/45 with the modifications.

Well I went by the Gun shop today and my pistol is in, but they haven't received the release yet!!!!

I've bought maybe 15+ guns in the last 12 years. Never had a delay. I've always gone home the same day with Handguns too, thx to the CPL.  What gives? It has been 3-4 years since I bought something from a shop though

  3-4 years without a new gun!! did I just say that??...hey boss I um gotta go shopping, can I leave early?

Check out the barrels made for them by Tactical Solutions. My cousin bought one for one of his many Ruger .22 pistols and its pretty sweet. Fluted aluminum with a stainless liner. Its super accurate and very light.

WTF? I filled all the paper work out when I ordered the Pistol?

[jackelope]

i had to wait for a release when i had some of my own guns shipped to me from NY a few years back. had them sent from FFL to FFL, i already owned them, etc and i still had to wait 24 hours. its totally random when they delay them is what i was told.

that said, some of those volquartsen customs are sweet...

I got delayed getting a rifle a while back. I think someone down in Arizona has the same name as me and is a felon. It was irritating but now that it is over I am happy. The "instant check" isn't very instant all the time. You figure if you provide your social security number then you might be cleared of any misidentification but even that didn't work for me. I sound kind of whiny so I better shut up now.

That said I really like the pistol there and wish I could have one for grouse hunting.

Hey Smdave, how does that sight package fit into your leather for the gun? I am worried about holstering with that tall of a sight. (I guess I should first ask how tall is it...?)

[Slider]

Thanks alot Smdave!!! I spent another $102.95 not counting Gunsmith charges and I havn't even received my pistol yet!!!  .......................lol   

[smdave]

My gun is now really tight in the Uncle Mikes holster (I think it is a #4) I am now looking for a bigger holster.

Gunsmith charges? These modifications are something you can do yourself, It was a little overwhelming at first but after looking at how it all went together I was able to understand it. Plenty of help on the internet, found as many drawings as I could and put it all back together. Of course it would not fire the first time  I think it was the sear spring that was in wrong if I remember right.

I guess what I am saying is I took it all apart thinking that if I could not get it back together I could always take it to a gunsmith to have it put back together.
