Lifeislarge Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hey guys, wonder if anyone here has any info on A&B High Performance Guns. I stumbled on this and have been able to find zero info on it. Seems kind of old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrymSIX Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Certainly looks interesting with the uspsa target and popper laser etching in the slide. The real Bomar sight is another hint that as you say it may be old school. Neat find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Here's a link to a Wikipedia article that may be it. It's listed under "defunct" manufacturers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_%26_B_High_Performance_Firearms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gunDQ Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Looks rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's definitely "vintage". I called STI and their records don't go back that far. Lack of a FO front sight is another clue to it's age. I'm more interested in finding out more about A&B. There couldn't have been that many 2011 builders even 10 years ago.

davidb72 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I can't help identify it, but it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Picked up the gun today and it's near mint without a scratch in the magwell. Whoever built this must have knew a bit about limited guns as it has a pinned grip safety and a very nice 2 lb (measured) trigger. Ultimatch barrel shows no signs of wear either. So better than an Edge out of the box and certainly a good "used" gun as far as that goes. Who was A & B..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrymSIX Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on what may be a little piece of history. Would definitely be cool to figure out who A&B are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Found this in the Front Sight archives from 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTownAggie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Did yours have the accurails like the ad says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 35 minutes ago, FunkyTownAggie said: Did yours have the accurails like the ad says? Yup has the accurails, trigger is precisely 2lbs, and it functions beautifully. Very accurate. I doubt there was 200 rounds on the gun when I got it. It is exactly as the ad states. I put an Ice magwell, extended mag release, and Dawson F/O front sight on it just to bring it up to more modern competitive standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTownAggie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sounds awesome. I'm sure you got a good deal on it. Estate sale or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomar83 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 How do you like the tungsten guide rod, and mags are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Really well balanced and shoots flat. Using Dawson tuned mags. Been flawless with the usual longer ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomar83 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 What are you using for loads? Does the gun have a tungsten reverse lug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badluck2 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I love the STI logo with lighting bolts. They should make that there permanent logo design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
