Unobtanium Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Sorry, no pix yet, I just ordered it. SIG P226 Elite Stainless in 357 SIG. As soon as I get it and put a hundred or so rounds through it, it is headed to Gray's Guns for their "Superblack" treatment, which is a QPQ process like Glock's Tennifer. Increases surface metal hardness to around 70RC and is done on everything, including the bore. Awesome stuff. Will result in a sedate, very dark, "Blued" look. Black stainless pistol Quote
M4JOHN Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Sweet! Merry Xmas to you ! lets see some pics ! ! ! ! Quote
Unobtanium Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 Sweet! Merry Xmas to you ! lets see some pics ! ! ! ! Pix can be found on SIG's website. It will be 5-7 weeks before I get it back from being QPQ'ed. Here is how it appears in OEM form. I will be changing the grips out for something slimmer and more tacticool though. http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=7&productid=169 Quote
M4JOHN Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Very nice, that will be pretty interesting looking after the color change.... willl it still look "stainlessy" or will it apear to be as though it were just blue'd... I like your coinage of "tacticool" Mind if I use that? Quote
Unobtanium Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Very nice, that will be pretty interesting looking after the color change.... willl it still look "stainlessy" or will it apear to be as though it were just blue'd... I like your coinage of "tacticool" Mind if I use that? I didn't create it, feel free. Basically, it will look like a Glock slide/barrel in color. Here is a picture of a stainless 1911 they did: Edited December 19, 2009 by Unobtanium Quote
M4JOHN Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Nice, I like it! very Tacticool in deed I think Im gonna look in the safe.... Its been almost 2 whole days! :-P Quote
Hookster Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 That's going to look sharp Unobtanium!! Looking forward to some pics when it's all done Hookster Quote
Duggan Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Hopefully it works better than the Wilson bro. Quote
Unobtanium Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 Hopefully it works better than the Wilson bro. Very much in agreement. Quote
texas skeeter Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 looks like its gonna be a good looking lead thrower!! but you better stock up on ammo, cause thats gonna be a hard round to find in a "SHTF" scenario!! Quote

texas skeeter Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Actually, when TSHTF last year, it was the only round on the shelf. NO, I mean when the real "SHTF"!! you know, when the LIBTARDS F#%$ sh-t up so bad like they're doing and its MADMAX time!!! stores looted,water and power shut off etc. or ZOMBIE time!! Quote
OhioM4 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 NO, I mean when the real "SHTF"!! you know, when the LIBTARDS F#%$ sh-t up so bad like they're doing and its MADMAX time!!! stores looted,water and power shut off etc. or ZOMBIE time!! Skeeter, better keep some black powder and nails on hand as well. If the SHTF like you are expecting you may run through those 100+ PMAGS and have to fall back to the blunderbuss or cannon. The recipe is simple...equal parts powder and nails by weight. Quote
Unobtanium Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 NO, I mean when the real "SHTF"!! you know, when the LIBTARDS F#%$ sh-t up so bad like they're doing and its MADMAX time!!! stores looted,water and power shut off etc. or ZOMBIE time!! Most people I kill will be armed. Endless ammo supply. I don't know why people worry so much about it when they can pick up the spoils of war. As long as you are killing, you are arming yourself. When you stop killing, you are dead and won't need it anyways. That being said, I plan on picking up 500 rounds of GDHP or so. Quote

slider76 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Love my 226 in 9mm. How do you like the Sig 1911? Quote
Unobtanium Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Love my 226 in 9mm. How do you like the Sig 1911? You couldn't pay me to own another 1911, much less SIG's 1911. Quote
