| | Get A Grip! Here's a pic of the grips I made yesterday for my gun. Got tired of those old plastic "pearl" grips and thought I'd try some wood. Not fancy or anything but it was fun  Fitting was the toughest thing.

Jax. | Ha! That's funny.  I got that gun 20 years ago when I was a cook in a cafe. I had to go in by my self at 4am and close at 8pm. We had some some really strange dudes hanging around and someone tried breaking into the bathroom window one night. So, I got a gun. Has gone everywhere with me since, except on flights.

| | Re: Get A Grip! I never envisioned you as "packer". You have gained some new respect. BTW I liked the carving too. It is much easier to hold than ivory.

She may shoot at you, but she'll look good and smell good while doing it.
Love it, Nancy.
