Wow, that is a nice looking Mauser. It looks like it is in great shape. I've always liked the design of that Mauser.
Got a tip for us?

Sweet! Very nice.
Living in Japan has greatly curtailed my gun collection. When I see items such as this, I long to be back in the states.
mojohanna: The damage seems to be done to the slide. I can't really see the barrel in the picture, and I am not a 1911 guy but it seems like the shrapnel hit nicked the slide and the gun can be fixed if you want to, if not you can just keep it as a memento. Nice looking piece.
It's my G26 in my glove box.
Thanks for the pic. Who makes that holster?
Cheers.

just picked up a G22 RTF2
very nice!
how do you like the rtf2 finish? does it feel better? i'm in the market for a g19 and hope they will do the same for that model.
i got it to shoot with our divisions pistol team, and a really like the finish for shooting. if you are wanting to carry the 19 i would not recommend the RTF finish because it does not work well with clothing. the grip wants to stick to everything.
Posting some more pics, I think I may have posted the first one already...

How's that M&P? I'm itching to get one in either 9 or 45.
Also my handgun family. From left to right:

I like it a lot, the interchangeable grip is nice too, it'll fit nearly any hand- and I put Trijicon sights in it too, badass gun IMO.
I've been looking into getting a Glock 19, I'm haven't shot the new 4th gen Glocks yet, I do like my 3rd gen G26 though...
EDIT: I like your Magpul DVD =D

My collection, CZ P-01 in 9mm, CZ 83 in .380 and my big baby DSArms STG 58 in .308 (made from the original FN FAL metric blueprints, still has the detent on the receiver for auto mode).
Don't have pics of two others, a Taurus MILLENNIUM PT111 9mm and my newest bought last month a Taurus PT-1911 in .45.

That's some serious hardware.
What's the kick on that?
the kick is really light and very accuracy.
*at 100yard and also it was a windy day.
Well......... I would like to take this time to tell you guys that I'm gonna eat some crow..... a whole lot of crow.
I previously wrote in a couple pages back about the 1911 not being on par with a Glock (or other plastic pistol for that matter).
Well I'm gonna be honest, at the time of that writing, I have not shot my 1911 for at least 2 years because I was living in the world of Glock.
This past weekend, I took the good ol' 1911 out to the range and I must say... It's still heavy, it still only holds 8 rounds, but there is something about a finely tuned machine that launches a big fat slug right where you want it to go.
The guys with Magpul Dynamics put it in a really good way.
- "To understand the 1911, it is truly a professionals gun".
- "The 1911 is the race car of handguns, you gotta fill it with premium (i.e. good ammo), you gotta do maintenance, and you gotta keep it cleaned and oiled well"
They are right about that. While at the range I had a couple of malfunctions, probably do to worn out mags I was using but when it ran, it ran like a champ.
I still think if someone wants to get a handgun, they more than likely should get a polymer type gun over the 1911 due to the amount of work and understanding one has to go through just to sustain these things.
I think the role of the 1911 is a lot different compared to what your overall need it going to be. I don't think the 1911 is a very good choice if it is your primary weapon (i.e. the only gun you have, like a police officer role). This is due to it's mag capacity. I think the 1911 shines in the sense that it is your secondary weapon (i.e. your rifle is your primary gun, like in a military or swat officer role). That is because the only time you handgun comes out, is when your primary has gone down (either out of ammo or a malfunction) and you have a immediate threat presented.
Over the weekend it made me realize some of the short comings in polymer guns, and that shortcoming is it's grip. Smooth plastic wants to move in your hands when firing. I didn't notice this until I was shooting my 1911 which has really aggressive texturing around the grip and the gun never moved. Once I went back to the Glock, I noticed that every 3rd round or so, I was having to re-aquire my grip. So I built up the courage and out came the cheap $10 walmart soldering iron.
I textured the grip of my Glock 35 around the grip and along the frame to aid in a reference point for my thumb.
Overall, I am very happy with how it turned out. The look kinda grows on you. I know I hated the look of textured Glocks before. But in the ends, function over form is key.

Nice to see another CZ guy.
I'd love to have a FAL.Found any good sources of magazines for your 83?
NRose, that texture job looks pretty darn good.
Nice......
Well I sold my Glock 23, mainly because it had to much recoil and not that much benefit over 9mm and I kinda want to get away from .40 S&W for logistical reasons. 9mm is far more economical for me to shoot more and my fiance shoots a 9mm, so buying ammo in bulk for one caliber makes sense.
So here I am with a chunk of cash........hmmmm iPad? or M&P9?......
Well.......
I stippled the grip as soon as I got home. Much nicer that the slippery factory texture.
Sweet.
It's amazing how the newer type weapons have less kick.
Technology in action!
Doesn't really have anything to do with technology, .308's just don't have enough energy to kick/have any noticeable recoil.
