Product Review Combat Armory slide and barrel

My wife knows almost every gun made. She knows, with a glance, if I changed the grips on a gun.
Rut-roh!

Mine knows with a glance if I'm hungry!

Fortunately, she isn't very concerned about my purchases. It kind of takes the fun out of slipping a new one in and has curtailed my buying to truly interesting guns.
Neither is mine. In fact, lately she's the one buying me the interesting / fun guns!

Watches, not a clue. I get away with a lot there. Maybe.
I think my wife has just given up - not that she was worried in the first place. I like to say, "It's cheaper than drugs, booze, gambling, carousing, and divorce!" 😁
 
Oh yes there is... ;)

Anyhow, since none of you chameleons can give a straight answer, a "trunk" gun(s) is one(s) you keep in your trunk if you have a vehicle with a trunk such as a sedan or stage coach... :D

Yes. Back when dueling was legal. I'd welcome that law being repealed. The internet would stop working.

Places to put a trunk gun:

You forgot one! (after you remove the Chinese, first...) ;)

Noted. I think you could fit a couple more Chinese in there!

Regarding the politeness of an armed society:

Here's one of my many favorite clips from FMJ.
View: https://youtu.be/ihfsNBHnpPY?feature=shared It would transform the internet if trolls could be challenged to a duel. It would definitely become more polite and the world would have fewer keyboard commandos pretending to be hard asses from their LaZBoy or Mom's basement.

How they settled things in the 19th century.

This is all a nice diversion from the topic as started.

To get it on back on track, I think I will have a chance to take my Combat Armory slide and barrel combo to the range this week. We shall see if the barrel fouls out fast or shoots itself smooth. I need to pick up some foaming bore cleaner while there. That stuff does a number on copper fouling.

Update?
 
Busy celebrating the 4th. Fireworks and beer got in the way of my range trip.

Curiosity got me and I ordered an on sale but not blem barrel. The lands are slightly smoother but not much. The grooves are mirror bright. It fits a little tighter in slide.

Still need to get to the range. Now I have two barrels to test.

That's the gray painted one?
That rifling looks a little better than the blemished I guess, but not much.

Introducing the $20 barrel. Well, the thread protector was $5.

The new non blemish in these pics is stainless. I tried enhancing the pics so you could see the barrel interior but it made them look gray.

oh ok, I didn't know they sold the unfinished/uncoated barrels, other than the blemished ones.
