Older/Newer and Small/Smaller

Mountainman & logical

Yes, that's my idea of what's happening...

logical,

I had to comment about how great your Sig P239 looks, because mine looks just like it!  It had a trip down to Virgil Tripp in Texas for hard chrome plating, and Cobra polymer coat on the frame.  They also added MMC night sights.

Ken at Hogue Grips let me pick out some premium select Goncalo Alves grips, cut thin to tolerate smaller hands.

The Sig short trigger was also installed.

Now, the darn thing is so beautiful, it has never been fired and just sits in the safe looking good.

It has been a difficult decision about whether or not to fire it.

And I forgot to mention that extremely good looking R9S.

thanks, that Nickel P239 is by far my favorite...but now if you want to see some real bling on a Sig, here's my P226 made in 1991:

Wow!  It is truly beautiful.

I wanted hard chrome for the durability, but later learned that many people prefer Nickel because the appearance might be softer and richer.

Thanks for showing the pictures!

Darn it Logical - that 226 is max bling!!!  I take it when shooting in sunlight, shades are mandatory? LOL  Wonder what would happen if my 226 ST was buffed within an inch of its life?  Couldn't be that shiny tho!

As far as frame colors go - these are my two pups - not side by side I admit (must take a pic of that) - but still maybe shows the silver and grey as comparisons.

Well Chris if the new Deer Park ones are black frames you will need to get one to have all three.

Dave, Don't worry sooo  much! the black frame is really good looking and has a nice finish. Remember as long as it goes bang!! That's what really counts.   Tom

Bill, Hard chrome is the way to go. Very durable and with the matt finish easy to shoot.  Tom

To reinforce my theory, I submit my R 600 ........

I just visited the Rohrbaugh company site today for the first time in a long time and the R9s they are showing now do have the black frames.   You're right - they do look real nice.  Well - time to head out for a haircut. Thanks Tom

[Michigunner]

Thanks, Tom.

We probably need to start shooting it.  Get it dirty, etc.

I don't even stick it into the VM-2, thinking that the polymer coat might get worn.

I found out about Virgil Tripp, because of Teddy Jacobson.  He highly recommended them.
