#1 22 TCM site on the web

- Fri Oct 23, 2015 9:25 am #3106 I had some friends up at my range a few weeks ago, and as we were driving down the jeep trail to leave the property. My friends in the rig behind called me to say that there was a rattlesnake that had been lying by the road, and when I went by I must have clipped it with my truck tire. They probably wouldn't have noticed it either but it was wriggling around. I went back and dispatched it with the TCM. Snake was about 2 1/2 feet long.
That day I had finally remembered to run some TCM rounds through the chronograph. My RIA came with an O.D. green Duracoat on it, but it was already chipping behind the ejection port, I guess where the brass was flipping around after ejection and hitting the slide.
Yesterday I blasted the slide, and today I'll Cerakote it a Coyote tan, will give the TCM a nice two tone contrast. I'll put up some pics of the "new look' in a few days when I get it back together.

Later on I'll re-do the frame in O.D. Green and be rid of the Duracoat. I had fitted an ambi safety to it, and it had some sharp edges which I dehorned, so the safeties, and maybe other controls on the frame I'll do in Coyote Tan.

Sandog - What are those grips? They sure don't look like snakeskin!

Snakeskin would be awesome! He even got the basic materials with his TCM already

He said somewhere that it was self adhesive skateboard tape and considering the material he was working with, he did a bang up job IMO. Looks pretty good for how simple it is.
