buck-boost

Lets see a pic or a couple. You don't hear much about this model.

This is an awesome thread! Great shooting guys!!!

I loaded a couple of thousand 45s on my LNL without it and never again. Hornaday one shot case lube makes the job so much more pleasant with much less effort. For seven bucks a can, I will never run out of it.

The lucky idiot who did it was the me. Even a blind squriel finds a nut! My avatar is the pistol. I can hit a 10 steel plate 5 out of 6 times or better (regularly) with my single six at 100 yards. 10 inch steel plate that is! (off a rest) Welcome to the forum buddy! Glad to be here!

Ahh, the post that started it all... The lucky idiot who did it was the me. Even a blind squriel finds a nut! My avatar is the pistol. I can hit a 10 steel plate 5 out of 6 times or better (regularly) with my single six at 100 yards. 10 inch steel plate that is! (off a rest)

That mirrors my experiences exactly. But I only use the FCD on rounds that won't gauge. The 200gr wadcutter feeds great and at 9 cents apiece, it is hard to wrong.

I doubt that Ed is building guns with bad slides, although I don't own one. What kind of problems did you have with your Wilson?

A very good friend of mine has a Champ Operator and it is an excellent shooter. No FPS and a ramped barrel make it a winner in my book. It is almost as nicely finished as my TRP Operator and has a little lighter trigger. It is tight, good barrel fit, bright night sights and nice and light at 31 oz unloaded backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty. Unless kimber switched over to a ramped barrel on their aluminum framed models, it wouldn't even be on my consideration list.

Its hard to put back metal where there is none. I'm pricing out parts for a build, and spec'd out mostly wilson parts and have over 600 dollars in parts. Throwing 500 bucks at a 550 dollar gun most of the time equals a 1000 dollar gun. Not a 2000+ gun. Start out with junk and end up with junk. It is really hard to do it the other way around in a cost effective manner IMHO.

Wow congrats. Your two are so tiny! I'm a twin, but I was 6lb 5oz, and my bro was 5lb 9oz. We were 6 mins apart. Almost the same birth day too. Mine Nov 7th. Wow! Beautiful pics!

That is an awesome Wilson. I would love to compare it to my classic.

Did some say "chrome"?! Over 5k rounds and the chrome finish has been spectacular IMO. (a wilson classic in HC that is my avatar) If you don't like "bright" finishes, I know there is something out there called "black chrome" but I don't know much about it. It is supposed to be softer that regular hard chrome, but that is about all I know. I would post a picture of the bottom slide and one of the frame but for some reason it is restricted.

That's a beautiful gun. Please post a picture of the top of the slide. I want to see how the polished hard chrome sides blend to the top. Here are a couple: Is that what you were looking for? Thanks for the kind words!

I left mine stock. For what I use mine for, (just for paper punching or occasional action pistol shoot) the stock MSH/well works fine. What do you use your pistol for?
