Here are pictures of my custom 'Operator'. This gun started it's life out as a standard 'Loaded' Operator. The gun shot 6 inches low at 25 yards, had a chipped beavertail, and a slightly curved plunger tube from the factory. Instead of sending it back to SA, I decided to send it out to Bob Rodgers to have him work his magic on it. After 4 months I finally have it in my hands...

I don't normally cuss but holy shit that's accurate. Offhand????? That just pisses me off actually. But, I guess it shows me that I got alot of work to do, but that it is possible with the right gun, ammo, and shooting prowess. I personally have never seen any shoot like that. But then again, I haven't been hanging out at nra bullseye matches so I don't know how well they shoot. Regardless, not only is it wickidly accurate, it is very nice looking. And a rail to make it ultra cool, for those that like that kind of thing. How does your 10 round chip mccormick mag work???? I have an 8 rounder that looks like a 7 and haven't had any problems so far but I'm really wanting to get a 10 rounder also. And they're on sale right now at midway, if there's any left. The wilsons are quite a bit more expensive, but I'll pop if it's gotta be wilson. I have a wilson 8 rounder and it is by far the best mag I have. |
