There are many like it, but This O

ne IS Mine!

She started live a meek little Raptor Mini and morphed into a fire breathing monster! LOL. .218-.223-. .250 .257 and soon a .172 or .30. Got to flip a quarter to decide. LOL

Original out of the box.

(Open in new tab for full size pic's) Apologies for the less than perfect pic's. Old Sony with Zeiss Lens, but no view finder. Screen completely washed out in the bright Texas Sun. Couldn't see a thing. GRRRR!!!!

Nice 1911!

Awesome looking WEAPONS. I ALWAYS have a sidearm!

I like how the accessory rail gets the bipod WAY out in front for optimum stability. I assume it's a high power flashlight and not an IR flashlight?

 

[Long_Gun_Dallas]

Most of your pictures turned out great. I cant say I'm not jealous of your setup on that gun Probably the sole reason I am tempted to find a raptor. I bet your 1911 is nicer than mine, too, lol. Cheers, and happy shooting.

Very nice set up . Looks like a great day in Texas.

 

[DemWitt]

Looks like FUN to me!

Awesome “form”! Rarely do I see that down at the “Duck and Shoot”, liquor store, bait shop, and (informal) shooting range.

Thanks Guys, the 1911 is a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special. He is an old racing buddy. I had a Street Strip Mustang called the Mr. 5.0 Dare Car. man I miss that fire breather!



In the summer I keep the 1911 loaded with two first rounds as snake loads here at the house. We have a lot of Rattle Snakes. Full loads at night for the Yotes and trips to town. 



And thanks for he Compliment D.W.! I hadn't thought about it, but you rally don't see it much anymore. But I'm a HandGunner at heart. 



Yep, a good weather day. Finally!

It shoots even better than it looks L.G. D.. ;<) Les Baer's are fantastic shooters. It has the 3" at 50 yard guarantee. It does better!

Someone is a affectionado of full metal jacket. lol

 

[Airgun-hobbyist]

That's a nice looking set-up. Are the barrels, porting and probes easily interchanged?

Speer Gold Dots and Hornady Critical Defense. ;<)

+1 on the Hornady Critical Defense. I stagger load the mags with the aforementioned HP and FMJ....... big hole then a little hole on and on

 

[knifemaker]

Very fast. Much like the Impact.

I couldn't get a clear look, but knowing you, it had to be something special, haha. I havnt got to shoot a huge range of them... Though I have used a nighthawk, and was not impressed. Likely due to it being a heavily used, rarely cleaned range rental. Mine is just a factory 5" colt competition model with some nice walnut grips and tritium sights. On a good day I can hit a 2 litre at 100 yards. Just don't ask me to do it twice, lol.

 

[knifemaker]

Nicest I ever shot was a STI double stack .40, which are made just South of me. Un real!. Sadly, a little above my pay grade. LOL



Got the Raptor shooting perfectly in the .218 cal. Getting bored now. Time to switch bbl's and go with a different cal. just of fun. LOL, can't leave well enough alone!

 

[CampFussell]

Lookin' good Mike. Hope you're all safe and sound and have power down there in Texas my friend!

Peace and wind turbine grease!

 

[AVS Stephen]

Hey Knife, Glad to hear .22 barrel is working well for you. Hope you are doing well in the Texas chill. 

all the best!

Thanks Jimmy and Stephen! Ice going away, now we learn that we have a ruptured pipe. Work on it tomorrow. Luckily, no power out for us. Many around us were.
