It's a labor or love. NO WAY, I'd do it for a living. I'd have no fingers, just nubs. Lol.

Lol, try hand checkering for 9 hours, my poor finger was swollen for two days.
EFFF that! I'll leave the heavy lifting to the pros. Wanna do a stainless Colt? Lol!
You did a great job on my RO9. She was the belle of the ball at IDPA, as far as I'm concerned. Unlike a custom shop job, it's that much more special to know the man who sacrificed his fingers to make it happen. Thank you, Sir.

Swelling is gone and ready for some more!
No way, you couldn't pay me enough to do it for other people. I can now fully understand why the Berryville boys charge $3k for a gun, cuz I would too. lol.
Sounds good. I'll try to bring it next Monday, I'd like to shoot idpa with it first.

Pulled and dried a load of .45 cases out of my wet rotary tumbler, am going to prep them all for reloading now.

Ordered more magazines for my CX4. Never know what the future will look like.

Made a trip to Dicks Sporting Goods this morning. Bought four boxes of Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr. FMJ and a Plano ammo storage box for $59.98 + tax (on sale). That equates to about $13/box of ammo once you subtract the ammo box.
I remembered to bring some of the unedited IDPA videos on a couple flash drives and it's a slow day at work, so I'm working on editing a few today when I have time. The IT guy here would have a stroke if I tried to upload them to YouTube, so that will have to wait until I get home. Unfortunately the videos are so large that even 32GB worth of flash drives couldn't hold all of them, so some will have to wait.

Ordered a few mags for the xd9. Same reason as garpo. Just got delivered to the house.

One out of 3 arrived, balance on back order. Oh well, at least I have a decent supply of 1911 mags and they always seem to be available.

Just got in the last of the new mags and the new rings for my Ruger Gunsite. Now it is time to put the scope on and maybe get to sight it in this week.

Just added 3 round extensions to a couple of my CX4 (PX4) mags. Whoopee-doo, now I have a few mags that take a whopping 17 rounds of 40 S&W. I wish Beretta would come out with a high cap mag that could at least take 20 rounds.
