Got the sights fitted. Heading to the range today or tomorrow to test fire. I'm still trying to pick a finish.

Very nice there Bhobbs, once you get it just right I would hard chrome that puppy!

Anyone tried one of these?

I was looking at them today at the LGS and have convinced my self to go back and pick one up for my Sig 232. Now for the record I am a custom leather holster lover, but these look very comfortable.

I was given one when they first started selling... Nice idea, needed polished. The problem, the holster needs to grasp the pistol a bit less, or the clothing a bit more. But then you have issues with a pistol that may not stay put when you're active. Didn't have belt loops or clips.

I always seem to go back to leather, hard on the gun finish but secure and last a long time. I do have a lightweight underarm holster that I like, but don't wear suits or jackets much and takes a while to put on compared to most.

I shot a chrome 1911 and it wasn't my thing. I'm leaning towards a nice bluing.

[ChrisBlair]

Did somebody say blued 1911? 1918.



Or maybe a blued Series 70 if the originals aren't your thing. 1978.

I picked up a Sticky holster and will be giving it a go. I think it might have a place for short commutes and on/off ease. Just yesterday I did some testing, honey says drive me to the store I need to pick somthing up quick. I am like ok, grab the 232 and sticky in a cross draw position and am in the Camaro in seconds flat.

On the drive I pulled as many G forces as I could with still keeping the Camaro on th road and the holster held fast.......wifee on the other hand Got a bit dislodged......but I told her I need to test this holster out, (the guys on the Internet are counting on me) she says what holster and I don't care quit driving like that (insert big grin here) at least I had fun!

Very nice. I hope it fires as good as it looks.

I vote for blueing.

On that vintage note, I'll show off my little gem circa 1940

Considering how light and comfortable they are you can put up with a couple negatives. Decent protection for a truck gun too

You might let her throw a few punches and see if it holds fast, sounds like she'd be glad to oblige

Does it have a provenance? WW2 pistol? Dad brought one back from Germany in 45, some serial numbers bring a pretty good price.

Unfortunately no it doesn't. No import marks though and all waffenampts are intact. It is WWII production, byf 1940 dated. It's a shooter for me. I love taking it to the range.

Too bad it's not numbers matching. Nice guns though. Incredible craftsmanship.
Mine is picky with ammo though.

Just picked up a H&K G36 .22Lr for the wife for target shooting. Going to add a red dot and maybe pink the gun out for her.
