started out as a tm, then got this stuff:
-prowin railless metal kit
-action 130% recoil spring
-shooter's steel hammer pin
-pdi 6.01 palsonite tightbore
-shooter's nozzle
-action floating valve
-nineball piston head
-nineball floating nozzle spring
-special real p226 grips with checkering machined by hogue

shoots pretty damn hard for a tm pistol its length, 330fps?

i modified an oldschool surefire (then laser products) lamp to fit and i've got the matching safariland in woodland. more pics up when i do em.

wow that's cool man other then the flashlight but it's old school so i guess it's Ok...
but it's really cool looking pistol man good job

Bartek is alive!?!?!

No, hes posting posthumously.

Thats a nice Sig man, I totally regret trading mine away. Def gotta get back into one of these bitches. Good job!

you know nothing.

I have a no-railer in the pipe. Taken two years so far but I'll have it soon.

That's gorgeous.

Did you modify your grips, or the hammer spring housing, or did you get a real housing?

the pro-win kits accommodate real grips off the get-go. the spring housing is built into the frame. also, holy shit does the safariland fit this setup nice, even though the light extends the gun a fair amount and weighs a bit, i barely notice a difference in use.

now please, does anyone have a spare surefire (or repro, don't care) bezel they want to sell me? like this one here (just the bezel, don't need the actual head or lamp):

you'll find those on just about any older surefire weaponlight, shotties, mp5 grips, classic weaponlights etc.

Ah Bartek, your p226 always makes me want to fap that extra bit.

Nice gun, what's with the takedown lever? Doesn't look like the new-style or old-style one. Or is it even older than the old-style flat one or something they had inbetween?

it's the surefire one, holds the light on :) good eye.

Well now that's good news for me!

Hehe. I know my SIGs :p How do you like the PDI tightbore?

well it shoots straight and hard but i hadn't chronied with/without the barrel. the goal was to boost power but i don't have hard results. something's giving it a power boost, whether it's the floating valve, the spring, the piston head and piston seal, or tightbore it's hard to say who's pulling the weight :)
