AikiDale Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I hate it when everyone I shoot with, every friggin weekend, keeps asking when I am going to get my Open gun. Okay, not everyone, it was only three this last weekend. They know (because I opened my big fat mouth and told them) that I had ordered an open gun from one of the big name smiths and that I should have it by the end of November. Well I'll get it when it's done. In fact there are two of them, one for me and one for my girlfriend. If I can understand that the holidays, family matters, competitions he chooses to attend, mishaps and keeping his prior customers happy all add a little time to the completion of my masterpiece then so can everyone else! I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush it. Everytime I've spoken with him I am okay with what is going on and I don't expect to have a post in this thread after I get the guns. Next time I order a custom pistol I'll damn sure keep it to myself! [/rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Unfortunately, Dale, I think you just picked up a bunch more "buddies" The truth of the matter is - they just want to live vicariously through you. What you should do is this - tell them it showed up, and bring "it" to a match in a gun rug. Let everyone know you have it, but refuse to show it to any of them. Let them see the gun rug, even. When the tension builds to a crescendo at the end of the match, you can show them what you brung - maybe a BB gun or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Having had the opportunity to vent and reflect it occurs to me it is not my shooting "buddies" nor the questions that get me. It is that slimy knowing smirk on their faces as they ask the question.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedale Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Dale, If you would have listened to me, you'd be shooting your nice shiny new revolver! You wouldn't listen and you went towards the dark side. Next thing you'll show up with a nose ring and those pants that hang down too low. It's not too late to come towards the light! We have a six step program to rehab back to the wheelgun. Hoppy has a phone- in therapy line...it's a 900 number. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 "The wheel on the gun goes round and round...." How long does it take for a custom wheel gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedale Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 That's the nice thing about the wheelgun. Pull it out of the box and it works. It takes about a week to get one or you find a nice used 625 for $450 or so. Come towards the light! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well at least Kevin has seen it! Mike, you are absolutely correct. I got a great time on the Mozambique drill at the steel match with it. Two to the body with one trigger pull and one to the head. Would have been a great time if I could draw.... Hey VixZen!

Airedale Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 It's been a few days since anyone asked Akidale about his new blaster. Dale is not feeling the love. Aikidale, is it possible you only think you ordered a new gun? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Dale, There's a gentleman who posted in open gun technical with the same problem. The thread is "the wait is killing me". (I'd link if I was smart enough). Support group, maybe? Because we care, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Well, then there's the huge group of us who ordered Valtro 1911s anywhere from one to two years ago... and never saw them. Ever. Over 19 months since I ordered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going off this weekend, putting on a white robe and a full length skirt and paying good money for a little oriental guy to beat me up for three days. When I get back I would really like to be able to say "hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at you side" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
