New pistol
 
Well, I have a new pistol that is probably going to make more than one of you really excited. I will let the pics do the talking:

Expect a new set of grips on them early next week and Bobtail grips for sale immediately following that.

Congrats on your purchase! I am hoping to go and shoot it next week. It really feels great in my hand and everything functions perfectly. Honestly, the pistol feels every bit as good as my Yost-Bonitz full house build, in function and tightness. The Yost is obviously better in aesthetics and has that hand worked feel to it. The range will tell me if it is as accurate. I have some real shooters in my stable and I am not a bad shot, so I should be able to see if it is up to snuff real quick. Honestly, this is the best factory pistol I have ever held.

Really looking forward to your range report. What else do you have on your stable to compare it to?

Well, that list is kind of ridiculous. I shot a Mimber for about 2 years, and I replaced nearly everything on that gun except the slide. The Franken-mimber was sold for an STI Edge. That was a pretty good shooter, except I could never get a repeatable, comfortable grip on the wide frame. I sold that and bought a Caspian frame and slide.

Currently, I have a Heirloom Precision (well, sort of, it is a Yost-Bonitz house build that Jason Burton did it for me) Caspian build, a Springfield TRP Operator that I had Dave Williams redo to insane levels in the custom shop, a Sig Tac-Ops carry with a threaded barrel that I have tweaked lightly, and the V-Bob. I will also have a Nighthawk Talon added to that list next week.

Most of it is high end, but it will be fun to compare it to the Sig. It is really the best you can get in that ~$1000 price range, IMHO. Initially, the V-bob is heaps better made than the stock Sig and better fit than it. Time will tell if it is a better shooter. The Tac-Ops is really accurate for a non match barrel. More of a review later!
