Well, OK, so I don't feel ALL that guilty. I love ny Rohrbaugh R9s, but have just totally messed up the budget by buying a new pistol: 45ACP 1911-type
an STI Trojan 5.0 (http://www.stiguns.com/guns/Trojan5.0/Trojan50.php)
hard-chrome finish (I like shiny guns), trigger work, fiber optics sights, etc. all done by Bob Cogan's APW (http://www.apwcogan.com).
Bottom line: it's a dream. It's much better than I am, cannot do it justice. And it's much prettier.
And even at my advanced age and diminishing capacities, intend to try out IPSC/IDPA competition, for which this firearm is fully qualified/accepted.

Reinz. You must have one?
Richard: what type/model firearm is that pictured? It's absolutely beautiful...

Richard - if you happen to have a pic of your P7 with the Micarda grips would you mind sharing?
I sure would like to see how those look on the gun.
I don't recall seeing them.
If you don't have a pic, please do not go the trouble of setting up and taking one.
Thanks
Richard,
That picture is really nice!!
Who did the Micarta grips?
Richard - I just thought you might have one handy :)
It looks great!
Do they feeeel as good as they look?
I have a feeeling! :D
Reinz:
I just arrived with my lady at Critter Creek, got this this jury-rigged internet connection up and running, and have logged into the Forum.
Yes, the Micartas feel as good as they look -- very "grippy," if you will pardon the pun. The best thing is that they are da**ed near indestructible. With the Nills, I am always aware of the possibility of banging them on doorways, car doors, or such. With the Micartas, I don't even think about it. My R9 is always protected in a pocket holster, but I wear the P7 either IWB or OWB, depending on circumstances and clothing. The two together make a great pair for CCW use.
If you order a pair of Micartas from Pete Foldyna, whatever the handgun, I think you will like them.
Richard - thanks for the good feedback.
I'm sold!
p.s. One other thing, do they add any girth?
If you are interested...I have made thin grips for P7s. I can make them from any plastic you like. Just need to know which "gun" you have. (PSP flush, PSP protrude, M8, M13 or K3)
And for you puppy owners out there...we are finishing up the first set of "Cocobolo" grips...standby for pics. They are in polishing mode right now.

You now have my undivided attention! 8)
