I don't quite know what to make of this. I carry both the 26 and the 19. The 26 during the summer months and the 19 during the winter...or I use a mag extension adapter on the 26 so that it accommodates 19 mags.
I've seen grip reductions that Lone Wolf and others specialize in but this is the first grip length I've seen.
I didn't even know they were being offered.
What I do know is that Ayoob preaches against modifying any weapon that you might use for self defense because of legal issues. He also states that the non-shooting public will view you as a gunslinger looking for a fight if you have too many of these mods.
One other thing. I also know that you're killing the value of your investment and reducing a family heirloom with too many modifications to your weapons.
In the end I guess its interesting but just not for me.
Back in the old days I put the only Mod I use on my old Series 70 Government model .45 ACP a pair of standard pachymar rubber grips everyone said it made it look like I was a gunfighter ready to throw down on the Ringo kid.
ReplyDeleteThey are ugly but they work.
I would add another mod if I had a rail, laser/white light flashlight.
If I had the extra money I would own a Glock in 9mm with rails.
yeah but adding grips is one thing. some of the stipling jobs that i've seen, the serations in the slide and some other stuff just looks like its going overboard to me. some of this shit is being pushed and it has no real application in a combat situation and will cause the price of the weapon to go down. i like to think of it like some do with cars. you can mod one to hell and back but in the end if you sell it the closest it is to mint, stock condition the more valuable it is.
