Just thought some of you might enjoy this. I was net-shopping for some new shades a couple months ago, and on the Armette site they had it set up so you could view each pair of glasses in an animated, 360-degree view. I had to have this on my site. My webmaster got it geared up a week ago:

Probably will add some more as time goes by. This is for high-speed connections only!

That's cool.

The thumb safety on that gun just boggles my mind. Did you move the pivot forward next to the grip bushing? Anyway, Ned you are a genius, there is just no way around it.

Hey, I mentioned your name at work the other day and one of the guys says he knows Fil Campos and that you two shoot pins together?

Ned,
That is way cool but, it doesn't hold a candle to the pistol you used for the animation. I think that is the coolest thumb safety I have ever seen. Also the hammer is very cool.

Now you know what I want for Exmas!! I'll be nice and even come over and pick it up can't beat that deal can you.

Gary

Even cooler than the gun is shooting the gun. Ned brought it to a class, and if it hadn't been for the fact that we all have known each other for decades, he'd probably have to have gone diving into our vehicles to get it back.

zen_hopper, Fil is one of my best friends ever. I won't even get started as it would get extrememly long, but he's top shelf in every way (including bowling pin shooting, yes. I'll bet we've fired tens of thousands of rounds just at pins, while shooting either against each other or together as part of a team.)

The safety on this little 9 is indeed pivoted in a different place, since I cut the rear of the frame so high that the original safety pivot hole is.... gone.

Gary, I'll do this much for your Chrismas stocking-- that lump of coal I had for you, I'll carve it into the shape of a 1911 :shock:

Damian, PLEASE don't fire your F1 Space Modulator, those things have too much collector value since the F2's and F3A1's came out. Ah, what am I talking about-- you've probably already caught a lethal dose from the byzanium power crystal anyway, they tended to leak, hence the F2.

Nice looking gun Ned. Could you give us the skinny on that beavertail? Thanks.

Badger,

http://www.louderthanwords.us/forum/vie ... hlight=low

Hope that helps. GREAT gun and likely the most innovative 1911 I've ever seen. That's why they call Ned The Mad Scientist. Only thing is, he's not mad (quite sane and happy, actually), and he's not really a REAL scientist.

Ned, every time I see that gun I get a funny feeling in my trigger finger.

I think you probably can carve it from a lump of coal so I am going to hold you to it.

Thanks Jim that thread is from right before I joined this board and some how never read. While I love the 1911 I hate having a grip safety and I get the feeling JMB wasn't fond of it either. Wayne Novak has developed a one piece MSH/Beavertail that is pretty neat. This however goes way beyond that into the realm to terminally cool.
