    Undercut 1911 trigger guard - worth it?

    I prefer an undercut front strap/trigger guard but an add on magwell might be an easier solution to your dilemma, it adds enough length to the grip that it is similar to a standard Gov't/Commander grip frame in the hand. Of course, it negates the concealment advantage the shorter officer length...

    Which .45 for Bedside "Duty?"

    I like 1911s, if the Remington is a double stack that would be my choice, second would be the Beretta. My house/nightstand gun is a Bul 2011 in .45.

    Why can't my ammo completely fit into the cylinder ( Ruger LCR 9mm revolver)

    Pictures make it easier to help you if people can see the problem you're describing. Does all 9mm ammo you've tried fit the same way? Does the cylinder close when loaded? The rounds should headspace on the case mouths in the chambers to allow you to shoot the gun without moonclips. If you're...

    Kinda Rare Or Not?

    Rare and valuable can be mutually exclusive, some things are hard to find but if they're not popular they're not worth much. CZ52 have been selling cheap through places like AIM Surplus for years. You can check if any have sold on gunbroker recently, that'll give you an idea of market value...

    S&W conversion

    There's about a bazillion beater 28-2s out there, better they're rebuilt into something that will be use and appreciated than left to languish on pawn shop shelves or stripped for parts.

    CZ Scorpion EVO 3 worth it?

    No, the stock is low enough to get a good sight picture without any trouble, kind of AR-ish.

    Stag grips are a great looking alterenative-

    CZ Scorpion EVO 3 worth it?

    I think they're worth it. Tons of fun, accurate, reliable, etc, mine has the Franklin Armory Binary trigger and some other uprgrades. I have a tool bag for it that holds a bunch of spare mags and the gun with the stock folded, easy to throw in the passenger seat to take along for rides.

    Lemme see your Barbecue Gun!!

    We don't have big Texas style barbecues up here in Maine, but we do have big lobster feeds and pig roasts. I go upscale but don't have anything too outrageous. Wore my Clark Meltdown Colt to my daughter's wedding in Kansas.

    .45 acp single action cylinders gimmick or godsend

    I don't reload and don't have any use for .45LC, on the other hand I have a couple of dozen 1911s and a custom S&W 28-2 in .45acp and keep lots of ammo on hand for them. I like single action revolvers so having one in .45acp is a no brainer for me. Several years I got one of the dedicated...

    S&W conversion

    The rifling ends before the port with an edge like a recessed crown, you can just see it in this picture.

    S&W conversion

    I agree with Kevin, go for it and make the gun what you want it to be. There's a bazillion 28's out there and they've been used for large bore conversions for decades, besides, that one's worn and pitted enough and already been messed with to the point that its only real value may be as a base...

    Streicher's

    It's been a number of years but I've bought some guns and ammo by the case from them, good prices and never an issue.

    Who could square away a revolver for me?

    I'll second the Mark Hartshorne recommendation. Mark has worked on several of my revolvers, including taking a beater S&W M28 and converting it to a 3" RB .41mag. He used a Ti cylinder from a M357PD and a 4" M58 barrel that he cut down to 3", recrowned, removed the rollmarks, and made a new...
