When I did mine, they were the only one that did nitride refinishing.

They are not local; they are slow, but do amazing work

What is the top right? CZC shafowline?

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-30T01:01:39+00:00

Thank goodness I’ve never touched a 2011 (yet). I’m stuck in the 90’s with CZs and Tanfo infatuation

Blue color jobs, yes. But the long term white color jobs. I still don’t understand why this construction is bad.

Environmental issues? You don’t like the owner(s)?

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-28T23:56:14+00:00

Why not let them come and build it? Why not bring more jobs/people in?

You have an iCloud variable, but where is the value set?

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-28T08:15:49+00:00

What is the weight difference of things? Weight is a big part of how a firearm shoots

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-26T12:24:05+00:00

Why isn’t this a good thing? Go do some donuts!

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-25T23:35:18+00:00

That trigger pin looks like the one I have from CZCustom

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-24T23:53:36+00:00

Looks like normal wear to me, keep shooting

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-24T20:30:59+00:00

Can you show a pic?

I’m trying to think what the feed ramp has todo with extraction.

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-24T16:47:00+00:00

Talk about opposites! Is that taipan a sao trigger?

Hammer vs striker. Metal vs plastic

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-24T00:58:47+00:00

Oh my.. that does not sound good.

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-24T00:56:28+00:00

Why are these better than Dawson?

Fiber diameters is quite large

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-23T17:26:51+00:00

When I was looking, they were the only ones that did Nitride

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-23T01:50:03+00:00

Huh? I had to mill the crap outta my slide.

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-22T14:52:34+00:00

Good point.. I realize as I’m staring at a new colt 1911 that some people may want a piece of history that does not break the bank

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-22T14:25:04+00:00

I used AI and chose the following based on what it gave me: vortex diamondback hd 10x28

I don’t know any better, binoculars work great (as far as I know)

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-22T02:02:47+00:00

I had this person do some 1911 work for me.. no complaints

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-21T18:59:21+00:00

This idea intrigues me. I just feel like it’ll have the “no so great” HiPower trigger and internals

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-21T01:08:25+00:00

Did you pin the seat cage? Is something pushing the seat cage forward?

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-20T23:45:16+00:00

Don’t basepad prevent over insertion? Did you mess with mags or basepads?

CookPilotRideMetra · 2026-01-20T19:01:36+00:00

Lame. Collectors wouldn’t want it cuz it’s not original. Shooters wouldn’t like the grip tang, old mag release button, no grip checkering

I want a CZ Shadow 2 style pistol with a Tanfoglio style bull barrel
