I love it when a plan comes together

The Shooters Apprentice, 4 hours ago

With me being a big 1911 guy, I've always wanted a dedicated 1911 in 22, or at least a good conversion upper. I've been eyeballing them for a long time, and had a couple frames sitting here with hopes of finding a upper.

It finally all came together this week when my local gun shop had a used Kimber custom II 45 come in with a Kimber 22 target rimfire conversion kit. Interestingly the kit came with double stack PARA mags, but thats not big deal. I have some proper mags on the way.

One of the frame options I had sitting here for the eventual 22 build was a Kimber alloy frame. It's no secret that I am a big fan of alloy frame 1911s, and I threw that upper on that frame. 

Boy, it's even better than I had hoped.The alloy frame is very light weight with the alloy slide, and the whole gun weighs less than my Ruger mk4 22/45 lite. 

The real deal sealer was the accuracy. I don't have any magazines so I had to single load it. I fired a couple rounds at a 45 caliber hole in a USPSA target to see where it was hitting which was about a inch and a quarter low, and held accordingly. This group was 10 rounds at 10 yards.

Can't wait for the magazines to get here so I can really go to town with this thing.

recreating extinct species

A company has successfully taken genes from fossils of the dire wolf which has been extinct for 10,000 years. It's a long read but worth the time. They're working on the wooly mammoth and others as well.
Personally, this doesn't give me the warm and fuzzys. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Does anyone want pterodactyls swooping down and grabbing us?
