Hello everyone,
well i just thought that i would post a few pics of my first 'real guns' (everything alse i have is UIT related pistols)
The pistol is basically a STI 2011 .40 made for what we call 'standard' dev. IPSC.
It is pritty much made up with all STI bits and built up by Ivan (who's shop is called Relic Custom) - Ivans a GM IPSC shooter who's has been building STI's/SVI's and other IPSC pistols for many years, and over here is pritty much the man to have make your pistol.
I have not yet fired this pistol since it has been 'finished' but i had the pleasure of shooting it in, when it was first built, then he had it back for a while, made all the serrations and polished/ nickeled it etc. and now i finally have it back.
Please excuse the pic's, i havent yet got my holsters etc. so it is just a very plane picture taken in my room.
Hopefully i will get the digi camera again soon (borrowed it from a friend) and i can take some more pics to show it from all the different sides.
all comments welcome, and hopefully i will get a review done soon on it too.
(just for info, when i took it down to the club to 'shoot it in' i over 2 days 500rnd's of my own loaded bullets which were :200grn projectiles, with full major powerfactor speeds using a local made powder (ADI AP50/ 3.9grns) Winchester brass, and winchester small rifle primers.
The trigger broke very cleanly at 3LB's which i wasnt totally happy with, and when i took it back to be finished, had him lighten it to 2.5 pounds.
Overall, i am very happy with it, and everything has been done how i asked.
When i was shooting it in, the front sight wasnt fixed in place yet, but i managed to shoot 2 to 3" groups of 15 at 25meter's which i am very happy with for now, as it is my first ever shooting session with a pistol of this cal. (up till now ive done nothing but strict UIT shooting)
