There is plenty of bloviation on You Tube but I would like the opinion of the Congregation.

Not sure if I would go this route, flawless function has been tough to achieve by many. Not saying it won’t work for you, just saying o don’t trust them with my life. For a range gun, go for it. For a PCC I have a couple of firearms build specifically to be a PCC (non AR platform). My $0.02

P365 Tac pac shipped today. Expected arrival on Mon. 01/25. That's everything for now. And the upper arrives tomorrow. So now it's a race between me and Kommelia before they ban parts sales, etc. And I might want to do one more RIA 1911 for my niece.

Where did you get your RIA 1911 the last time?

Gunbroker as a "Buy Now." It came from a shop in McHenry, Ill. of all places. Actually, very close to where I used to live and work after college.

Actually, I stand corrected. The RIA was done through a direct purchase from the merchant's website (I saw it through the "GunWatcher" site not GunBroker). The P226 was the one for which I won the auction at GunBroker.

10-4 thank you.

Quick Update... and a shout out to Chris Miller of M&M Outfitters of Lawrence Ks.


I had purchased their Anderson Mfg Upper assembled with BCG and charging handle on GunBroker for $259.95. Apparently, someone goofed up the orders there because what arrived on Fri 01/22 was just the upper only with dust cover and forward assist, but without the BCG and Charging Handle (which they do sell in that configuration). I was able to call Chris, and he had a replacement BCG and charging handle into the post via Priority Mail that afternoon. It arrived this afternoon and all is well.

Great company with which to deal. Check them out...

Update: 2nd group of parts "on order" for the 2nd build. Expected Friday. But I still need the FCG, a LPK, Delta ring assembly, flash suppressor and the HG Triangular Cap. All but the FCG are out of stock on Primary Arms, The Geissele Trigger I bought the last time is $165.00 now. Don't know if I want to spend that much for a Geissele but we'll see. I will pick up my P365 on Friday from the FFL. Then we'll see how things go.

I have maybe 1-2 more acquisitions for now, but they aren't for me. One is for my nephew (another Shockwave 590), and another RIA 1911 .45acp for my niece.



I'll keep you posted on the new build, as well as the fire testing the 1st build.


Thanks!
