THE CZickness L....Celebrating 50 threads with CZs, gunsmoke and serious discussion....

Metal grips have been around, this P-38 was made by the French right after WW2 and has stamped sheet metal grips instead of the traditional Bakelite. Initially made for the French army they were not used, but picked up by the SDECE and found their way around the world from Africa to Vietnam in places where the SDECE was active. Known as " grey ghosts" they are a nice piece of cold war history.

Midway Mac Gar are anti friction also.

Some are, some didn’t say they were, and they were $6-8 cheaper.

I was talking about the CZ 75 magazines I posted.
They have a lot of magazine I didn't even know Mac Gar made that many different magazines.

Has anyone tried Mac Gar 1911 45acp magazines?

It is a great fit. I’ve shown my [redacted] to quite a few people and everyone, every single person, mentioned right away how much they like the grip! Friends ranging from S-XL hands, it just seems to fit everyone.

That's some signature material right there.

That’s what the guys at the Flyin Rebel truck stop (ok if you know that place we’re friends) told me, that I had to acquire a taste for it.
I thought, no I don’t.
Just never have acquired the taste.

I'm there with you. No coffee for me. Just never took it up.

I went to my daughter's house last night. We had pizza, watched an episode of the new 90's Show, and installed a sunglasses holder that we'd built in my basement.
It's not in the same league as BTV's woodworking projects, but was something simple that she wanted.

She made this collage from photos taken with her phone.

I tried to watch an episode of that show. I found it difficult to look at "Donna". Don't know if it was drugs/alcohol, poor health/no maintenance or just bad plastic surgery and big veneers. She looked rough.

Your daughter looks like a young Julia Stiles in that photo. Looks like you both had a good night...

Well I jumped too soon.
Midway had a low $20ish magazine but it was not the anti friction coated one, which these appear to be.

Looks to have the same UPC code so…

How's everyone doing out in CZ land today?

You can't deny her, MM!

Glad you had a good time.

Mag rich and cash poor, as I think the saying goes for old farmers. Or something.

Just a WHOLE lot of cool going on in this pic....

and on a personal note....I won a Savage Axis XP in 308 in a NFTF calendar raffle.

Thinking about turning it into a pistol like an XP-100/Savage Striker....

I'm quite happy in my corner of this Hoosier paradise. Other areas are plum crazy in terms of housing prices

 

[wtburnette]

I'm shocked the artificial pricing hasn't crashed yet. Prices are as artificial as they were in '08 or whatever year it was before that bubble popped thanks to Obummer and company.

If you get out there for a visit I highly recommend this. Floors of really beautiful cars. Can spend most of a day there.





And one for @Firehawk
