But it's the first thing either one of us has bought in several BAGs. <br /><br />We've had an all day rain, so not a good day to go try her out. Decided to do a little work in the shop, first on the rod-making fixture, and then on the rod I'm building. <br /><br />That "rosewood tribal" is a kinda crazy pattern. Not quite "Mexican drug lord" crazy; more like "understated pimp" ;-D<br /> <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36950824372639235242014-11-09T16:22:21.484-05:002014-11-09T16:22:21.484-05:00My wife will be rather put out if I "have&quo...My wife will be rather put out if I "have" to observe two BAG days, but we must suffer for our art do we not?<br /><br />I decided that tax day would be gun day because doing both guns and ammo in November often makes things financially too tight.<br /><br />My path to a P238 led from wanting a Mustang as well.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-43711134818355582352014-11-09T10:38:59.168-05:002014-11-09T10:38:59.168-05:00Thanks Hans!

I also like 1911s as a pattern, although I still don't own one. I find they aim completely naturally for me. <br /><br />McThag, that was the first one I've seen (April 15), but since that time I've seen others use both days. First off, who cares? It's not like it's a widely recognized or "official" (in any way) holiday. Second off, isn't every day a good day to buy a new gun? <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-6730823154107573162014-11-09T08:14:13.012-05:002014-11-09T08:14:13.012-05:00Very nice.

Couple of comments ...<br /><br />If you find the ejection of spent cartridges a mite "energetic", swap out the recoil spring.<br /><br />A recoil spring for the Colt Mustang seems to be a perfect match to tame the ejection.<br /><br />Also, be aware that the P238 safety can be toggled "on" when the hammer is in the half-cock position - but DOES NOT prevent hammer-drop if the trigger is pulled with the hammer in half-cock.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Hans ... in the NC woods<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-60156260431166908472014-11-09T01:28:07.040-05:002014-11-09T01:28:07.040-05:00BAG day is tax day.
