My new Colt Commander!

On my last deployment we put together a custom order from Colt for a 1911 with custom serial numbers. Our call sign was stoic so they are all stoic xxxx numbered. Then we had then sent to a shop down here in miramar for a little dressing up. Filled out all the paper work yesterday and will be able to pick it up in 10 days! They also did up a set of grips with the squadron logo on them. Was excited and forgot to put the grips in the photo but will update the photos when i pick it up. I got #9! Was the 3rd order so should have gotten #3 but the senior pilots took them in order of position. Co 1, xo 2 etc. Still a bada$$ trophy. Will get me a custom box made and put her on display in my man cave when i get one.

I’ll post my wife’s present for my retirement in another thread. lol Granite countertops.

What a great way to go out…..you’ll enjoy it that’s for sure.

I am telling people my boss told me to walk myself with boxes to my front door at home in the Cigna tradition when they are laid off. :rofl:

There are less than 25 IT folks left out of 150 that were here when Cigna bought us in 2008. Only three real friends are left. Everyone else was laid off or quit or retired. It’s been an ongoing slaughter. One moved and works from home, another is local and works from home, and only one is in the office. The one who works from home near me and I hunt a lot and went and bought TenPoint crossbows last night for our new archery rules here and then had a beer. That was it. :biggrinn:

Coda, if I remember right you said you work from home? Are you have a Office party at home then?

+1 on CCW. My last day of work is Friday. 😉

I picked up a TenPoint crossbow today. They just legalized them here for archery seasons. Deer starts Sept. 15th.

Everyone should have their CCW. I have a class this weekend and next. 1bad, nice Commander!!!

Too funny. Must not be many around here because there are a ton of Trump signs and Hillary for Prison stickers.

I really like the air horn, Need to get my CHL,,, On the to do list…
I was warned not to put a Trump poster up in my yard, I have a lot of Illegals that live around me,,,

Never heard that about the glacier rounds. Have only shot 2 through the gun to see what they do. Only reason i see is cause the safty round may piss them off so the hollow points would be needed to neutralize the target.




So today when i got home my daughter had dinner ready so that bought me a 1/2 hour so i slapped the grips on the 1911 and built an airhorn that hooks to my compressor! Shit tons of non stop fun. And its loud!

I still have a few boxes of those Glaser Safety slugs somewhere. The last thing I remember was being told to only use them in revolvers. In an Semi-Auto they said to load one in the chamber followed by HPs.

For range shooting i always used either cci blazer or umc when i could find it in bulk. For concealed carry its always hornady critical defense 230 hp and at home i would load the blue glacier rounds. Cant remember the weight but they are just a steel jacket with blue plastic tip and full of small steel balls. Designed not to penetrate 2 layers of dry wall, nasty nasty rounds. Have the same load out for my 40 cal carry/home defense pistol now.

Hard to beat a high cap Para that’s for sure. Trigger is set at 1 3/4 lbs. Love this gun. It’s only shot 200gr SWC lead bullets, barrels still looking good.

Nice para there zonk. Mine was also the 1445 but in flat midnight blue. Will get another when i get out of kalifornia in the light double action. They build a badass pistol.

We have a guy down the street with the hilary for prison posters also. He had to move his signs up about 12 ft off the ground cause of vandalism. We live in a gated community with 12 houses so it had to be an a hole neighbor. Buncha old bitches for the most part.

Makes me laugh.
