As I am waiting for Oregon measure 114 to be declared Unconstitutional and thrown out. I have been buying what I can even though sometimes the state background check backlog is stupidly long.
When it passed I bought a Century arms VSKA pistol. Otherwise it's an American built Draco. So far i have put a proper flash hider on it, a Midwest industry fore-end, a magpul AK pistol grip and a crimson trace flashlight. More recently I have gotten a PTR 32 KFR. It's so new that I have yet to shoot it. I am planning on tricking it out like my 32P. Midwest industry fore-end, Tactical light, Magpul trigger housing and safety switch. I'm not sure if I should go with the Choate folder I have or find something better. As for Optic since this is a carbine I will be going with a LPVO scope.

My obsession with cloning firearms that nobody except me noticed continues. Since I now own both regular blued and electroless nickel German-made SIG-Sauer P226s, I decided to clone the P226s from the movies "Bad Boys 2" and "2 Fast 2 Furious" by swapping parts between the two guns:
  I'm still pretty sure to this day that Independent Studio Services made both guns for both movies (which were both filmed at the same time in Key Biscayne) by doing the same thing I did with at least four of their guns. Not that anyone cares except me... Also: I'm not sure what MPM2008 had trouble doing the same thing when he made the pics that we have on the IMFDB pages for those movies. Maybe because his blued P226 has the K-Kote finish which threw off the tolerances on the parts?

I'll grant you, when Measure 114 passed in Oregon, I was like, "Damn, I'm at least glad I don't live there..."

Okay I've waited over three years since the new Python was introduced and now, they're finally available in decent number here in Idaho- to include the 3"-barrel model. I've sold a few of my guns and I have the money. I've been eyeballing the Python since the Seventies and now I'm finally getting one. It might not be exactly like the classic Python, but it's enough.

That being said, I'm annoyed that Colt is no longer producing the blued version, as I think I like that version the best. I recently re-watched the movie "The Last Marshal" (which now has an IMFDB page thanks to me), and Scott Glenn uses a blued 6" Python with ivory grips as his main sidearm - I think that's what I want my ideal Python to look like.

Picked it up this afternoon. I've wanted to own a Python since I was a kid in the Seventies. I picked it up at my LGS a few hours ago. It's a very nicely put together revolver I have to say. I paid $1,446 dollars for it. My local dealer sold it to me for almost wholesale. This is the most money I've ever paid for a handgun, but I finally have a Python. I'll be taking it to the range during my next weekend.
