ima45dv8 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 If you're talking about this: it looks like anodized aluminum and not Hydrographics. Yeah, but it shure is purty! I'd love to have my SV finished with it, if it is indeed a paint option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I think this should be a contest. Does anyone know *why* I think Travis' gun is so damned cool? Because it looks like Zuzu's chew toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Erik,Hurry up and tell us I have to pee. Ever hear the story how the great astronomer Tycho Brahe died? Take care of business. ====================== Hint #2: What TT's gun tells you is not as esoteric as the guessers have guessed. I want someone to successfully guess why. That is thought to be urban legend, with current thought attributing his demise to mercury poisoning. But, as an alternative one need only look at the reason grampa Simpson needed a kidney donation from Homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_T Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Decisions, decisions, and limited coin........do I get my other heater dipped like Predator, or dip some parts on the truck?? Lots of people have asked about Fred Craig. He's currently unavailable and conducting contracting work in Iraq. Don't forget EGW (George Smith is the professor!!) and Rich Dettlehouser ( http://www.canyon-creek.com/ ). Rich has been doing some amazing work on Caspians. I shot a 6" hi-cap of his that was sweeeeet nectar. Some very exciting things are on the horizon for the Caspian frame. I've been working with a manufacturer on the development of a new magazine, and Caspian has been very supportive and has agreed to invest in the project and make them a reality. Hi Bulm540- I believe it has around 50K rounds and the ugly one I'm not sure. I traded a plastic gun for it and am not totally sure of its history. As the dust cover testifies it was a convertible and did double duty as an open gun. It is truly an awesome shooter. Super G- I'll give the Joe man word about your blaster! Henny- You're too nice!

rhino Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 BigDave and I were discussing this topic today. Since T_T's blaster is now "Predator," we thought I needed an equally appropriate name for mine. The final answer: "Cotton." It can't hurt you unless you choke on it.

RIIID Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Travis, Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed shooting it. Later, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenTX Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Travis, I think the other side of your Caspian is much more interesting. Your gun sure felt good with the grip work. I've been playing with JB Weld trying to make my SV feel that good. The class was great! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Davis Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I would like to see a reload contest between this guy and Jerry Miculek. Who do you think would win? Your bud, Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I would like to see a reload contest between this guy and Jerry Miculek.Who do you think would win? Your bud, Boo LOL, you've got to be kidding? Travis could do two reloads while Jerry does one (assuming they both hit their personal best). Jerry did a 1.4 s reload in his record runs, while Travis could probably hit a .65 s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 No doubt...Jerry is fantastic, but even his reloads with a revolver come no where close to Tomasie's with a bottom feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I'd bet the house on Jerry. Travis is a great guy, but Jerry actually practices with, and has competed with, a pistol. Travis, if you've done more than look at revolvers in magazines and thought "what a quaint blaster" we need to hear about it. Let's hear more about the magazines for Caspian frame guns.

T_T Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Travis,I think the other side of your Caspian is much more interesting. Your gun sure felt good with the grip work. I've been playing with JB Weld trying to make my SV feel that good. The class was great! Bob Bob- Thank you! It was a pleasure having you in the class and you are an awesome student. I hope we'll see you on the range this season! To those asking about the finish, it has held up pretty good. I would say a bit better than blue. There are obvious signs of wear from the holster on the trigger guard, but that's about it. Matt McLearn of M2I won the gov contract to build me a new Caspian .40 and it will be done shortly. If you remind me I'll try to post some pics of the new heater. Pat- I'm not sure where Caspian is at on the new mags. I may have some 20 round .40 mags available at Max's Choice very shortly.

Gwhiz Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Travis, do you have a price range for the 20 Caspian mags? I mean a ballpark range. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_T Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Here are a few pictures of my new M2i Caspian, built by Matt McLearn. This has already become my favorite gun and has earned 1st string. The fit on this thing is amazing and it’s the softest .40 I’ve ever shot. There is nothing like having the Nation & World IPSC Champ building your gun. Thank you Matt, you are THE man! http://www.mattmclearn.com/ Travis Tomasie GO ARMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
