Well I sure didn't fight that urge long. I was in the right place at the right time. Got a Wilson Hackathorn Special Commander with a light weight frame. The 9mm and 45acp are very close to twins. 9mm has Carry Cuts and the Carry Checkered frame.

That is awesome.

And, if you don’t mind me saying so, your recent gun-buying excesses make me feel slighlty better about my own wretched gun buying excesses of late.

Which is a good thing... for both of us.

Working range tomorrow and Monday so I'll wring it out some.

I know 9mm with modern ammo will get the job done. Hell I was in a gunfight with a 38 special, worked fine. I have a bias put in my head years ago and can't get comfortable with a 9mm. Anyway, looking forward to running some drills with this LW 45.

What is the lower holster and what is the leather? (looks like shark or something rather then croc)

Thanks

Pretty sure it is an Axiom:

and is probably shark

Well I certainly happy my excesses are a positive for someone! LOL

mmc45414 is correct. The lower holster is the Sparks Axiom with Shark trim. Fits close to the body. Very well made holster. I can carry my 4" Compacts or 4 1/2" Commanders in it.

Thread delivers! I'll be in my bunk...

Got this one a couple months ago but kept forgetting to take pictures. Springfield Professional Operator. My first Springfield. I recalling like the 20 LPI checkering. Very tight and shoots great, though I'm not sure it's worth almost twice what my Dan Wesson Specialist cost.

I guess that depends upon whether or not it's worth +/- 1500 to give a bunch of us here at P-F erections. Only you can make that call, bro.

Well, when you put it that way...

Nice pistol!

The LGS has had a non-railed Professional in their case for several months priced at around $3200. I can't say I haven't been tempted, but dang that's a lot of money for something that isn't a bespoke pistol.
