"You look like you might have seen one up close."
Guess I haven't posted this one in here.

Well, I talked to the owner of these two pistols, and got the go ahead to post the story...
My friend owns a gun/archery range, and his range has been featured on several cable shows (Doomsday Preppers, The Little couple and others) along with several news shows. He closes down the range and lets them film segments for shows.
Well, a while back, he got called and asked about filming in private, and was asked in particular about the archery range section he has. Among the questions were things about cross bow rental, and some other obvious tip off questions. So my buddy straight up asked when Norman Redus and company would be arriving. The producer laughed and confirmed the suspicion of the star, and set a date for "Norman Redus' Ride Across America" to film. Subsequent follow up phone calls came over time, and they let spill that Sean Patrick Flannery would be showing up with Norman!
So what does my buddy do? He buys two NIB M9's sends them out for custom Boon-dock Saints paint, buys some high end cross bows, calls me to assemble the Berettas (and maybe have some special firearms brought out)... ANNNNNNNNDDDDDD he gets a call cancelling the whole event. Mind you, he is $3k in the hole buying toys to make the show more entertaining. The producers "felt in the current political climate, basing a episode on guns and crossbows did not fit in with the channels audience, and would be to controversial to air"...
So, they backed out and left him holding the check.
Anybody want to buy a pair of custom M9s?
(I can vouch they are assembled properly and do fire!)
Well, if I thought I was going to meet a movie star I might be tempted to bling out a gun from one of their roles too.
The newest experiment/victim.

Just picked up a very nice used 92FS for a reasonable price and on my way home I got notified that the M9-22 I ordered had come in so I picked that up too. The 92FS is going to be an experiment of sorts. It's going to get a Langdon TJIB, G-conversion lever, larger mag release, and new grips and I'm going to see just how good I can make a 92 without sending it off to someone, as well as using it to figure out which grips and mag release I prefer.

Just updated my training/war belt with these two as my new primary weapons in that rig. Langdon PX4CC Full Size Mod 5 and a Monkey Edge exclusive Strider DuB in 3V. Very happy with both.
This 92 Centurian just came in from a member here. Been wanting one of these for a bit and now I have one to play with.
