I would love to see more pics and hear more about that pistol. I'm seeing a custom barrel bushing, and I know I've seen that barrel bushing before; I remember the set screw. Squared trigger guard with 40 lpi checkering on the trigger guard and front strap of the gun. I recognize the grips but the maker's name is escaping me, and it looks like someone made a new paddle for the crimped on ambi thumb safety. S&W rear sight... Man seems like I've seen that pistol before? I think I saw one just like that on Bill Laughridge's table at the Shot Show about a decade ago, maybe a little more...Is it a C&S gun? It's not an Austin Behlert gun; I'd recognize that. I would bet that it's a Jim Hoag gun. Looks like his bushing and checkering. He also inlet the S&W rear sight slightly into the slide like that, instead of mounting it directly on the rear of the slide. Bob Last edited by RGK; 03/26/14.

A plastic pistol makes perfect sense if you already have 10 lbs of other gear hangin' off your belt - but for the rest of us you, it's just....well....effeminate. Last edited by FreeMe; 04/14/14.

Every time I pick one up i hear Tommy Lee Jones' voice saying "sissy pistol" IIRC TLJ was VP Al Gore's room mate in college. Maybe the 'sissy pistol' comment was referring to something altogether different with a lavendar tint. “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

I thought the glock was better for comp shooting because magazines were cheaper to get and held more ammo. Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

Do a trigger job on a Hi Power and install Spegel grips and you'll see what a magnificent gun the Hi Power really is.
