mike cyrwus Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Form obviously follows function. Those are the sexiest loking slabs of iron Ive seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 As a plug for Brian and SG, anyone else thing that TGO's gun looks like it is fairly dripping in really old Slide Glide. It doesn't have much of the original red color left but I'm betting that's the source of the greasiness around the slide/frame contact areas.

XRe Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Rumor has it that TJ had gun problems today Still sure you want a gun that runs like his??? (I hate to see it happen to someone.... just don't assume that because someone is a sponsored shooter that they have 100% reliable equipment.... ).

38supPat Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I guess I'm disappointed in the companies that sponsor them. If we're to bring new shooters into the sport, it doesn't help if the top shooters are using "fugly" guns. None of my guns are nice looking but at least its presentable. I'm more function over form but for the guys that are sponsored? They should be provided something visually appealling to the casual observer. Don't get me wrong. I like the lightening cuts on both guns and can only wish my guns run as well as theirs. Can you tell who is from the racing world? The team colors are flown on the shooter, not the gun, unlike a race car. With all the tweaking that is done, the guns would spend more time in shipping getting refinished before every match than being shot. I'll bet Todds gun is in the white while Robbies looks pretty good despite all the removed metal, it's a bit greasy, but looks pretty new. Nice even finish. They remind me of the old super lightened Steel challenge guns....almost Open looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Can you tell who is from the racing world? Equipments gotta look nice to attract more sponsors . I guess dealing with teams that have, on average, a budget of $10 million dollars a year isn't leaving me with the proper mindset when it comes to the shooting community.

Jaxshooter Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The difference between the pro and amatuer. They view those guns as tools to get the job done. I am sure they could care less what they look like if they do the job when called on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwx40x40 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 100% equipment???????? I know some stuff is better than others , but nothing manmade will always be 100%. Why heck , I have even seen Glock Perfection malfunction from time to time!!!!! I believe sooner or later everyone will experience an equipment malfunction. Just some will experience less than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 My problem is that neither gun company catalogs a gun that is anything like them. Para at least makes a 40. Springfield made a Trophy match in .40 for a little while then quit. If they will make a 9mm why not .40? Same with the wide body. They only make a wide body in the bare bones mil-spec now and in .45...why not .40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Limited isn't a stock gun class. If 500 have been made it is good to go as a base for a build, from there as long as it conforms to the rules all is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
