The Hunt for EB Number 1

Uncle_harley,

Do you mind posting pics of what you had to do? I was wondering how the ejecting thing was going to go.....

uncle_harley · September-22-12 17:09

yeah give me a day or two. It's pretty simple just snapped off the recoil shield and rounded it out with a sanding wheel on the dremel. At that point it's not much different that a standard boot grip, but the chong's were the only extra grips I had.

CavScout · September-22-12 18:09

EB014 Combo is safely home here in Oregon.

heyjoe · September-25-12 14:09

i know you guys havent been shooting your new sidewinders but any heads up on what holsters it fits. 1 1/8 mini magnum? or 1 5/8?

45flint · September-25-12 15:09

Pictures dried up. Anyone get one with grips that fit? At this point I am hoping to be at the tail end of the EB run. I know I am a trouble maker.

cedarview kid · September-25-12 16:09

Flint, you troublemaker you!

Uncle_Lee · September-26-12 05:09

Well, Well,

   Mark 11 & 12 with conversion cylinders off the list.



   I'll post some pictures next week....

bbgun · September-26-12 06:09

Good show Uncle Lee!! I'm still waiting for my two. I'm going to shoot 'em. Are you?

Uncle_Lee · September-26-12 06:09

After looking them over, I think I will.

May just make them my carry minis.

heyjoe · September-26-12 08:09

congrats Uncle Lee. wear them in good health.

blazinwv · September-26-12 08:09

My grips were askew such that the left grip jutted forward of the grip frame with a sharp edge. I loosened the grip screw and aligned the grips, re-tightened the screw and all looks good. Don't know if there will be rotation issues under recoil yet.

Dinadan · September-26-12 14:09

Uncle lee - congrats! I figured all of the first bunch were out there.

   By the way, if you cannot fit them into your shoe boxes, I have some extra

   space under my bed where I could store them for you ... I can just shove the

   cat over a little!

bleak_window · September-26-12 16:09

The real question is, who'll be the first to do the Hollywood "flip"?

Or doesn't it work that way? I admit I haven;t studied the reloading routine.

wild bill · September-26-12 19:09

The Hollywood flip...ah yes. Favorite move of all the tv cops and they're experts, right? Ouch.

Uncle_Lee · September-27-12 04:09

I still have room enough in the shoeboxes for about 4 more minis.

   2 Sheriffs and they should be coming.

   2 Sidewinders with 4" barrels, just as soon as they start making them.

   Then that will be about all until Sandy comes up with a new model like a 32 acp mini.



   LIKE A 32 ACP MINI..........

ikoiko · September-27-12 07:09

Uncle Lee

If you find you need more shoe box room, let me know & I'll send you one. I wear size 13.

heyjoe · September-27-12 08:09

so none of you 1 to 20 ers has tried putting the sidewinder in a holster yet?

45flint · September-27-12 09:09

I think they are all in safes, no need for a holster. When I get mine you will have a range report!!

heyjoe · September-27-12 10:09

hold on there now Mr. Flint I may get mine before you.

45flint · September-27-12 15:09

That's fine I'm going for the last EB serial number now!

heyjoe · September-27-12 15:09

and the last shall be first

Randy · September-27-12 19:09

I have one pic in a holster. They will fit in a 'western' style holster. It will fit snugly in my Patriotjoe PUG holster but the strap won't snap. Strap needs to be a little longer to snap.

   This is a pic in a MadHat (actually Ms. MadHat) holster.

45flint · September-28-12 03:09

Randy pull that SW out of the holster like to see it in a boot grip?

Randy · September-28-12 04:09

Top left boot grip, top right standard grip. Only pic I have for now. I need to get a better close up.

Uncle_Lee · September-28-12 04:09

Here you go:

Randy · September-28-12 06:09

There ya go, that's the way to do it!. Congrats UL on the new addition.

45flint · September-28-12 09:09

Gun looks very nice! Have to ask uncle lee how was the fit of the new birds heads? Not sure I like the boots on this gun?

Uncle_Lee · September-28-12 11:09

I really didn't check out the fit of the bird's head grips.

I just took it out of the case and changed grips.

I don't like bird's head grips.

45flint · September-28-12 14:09

You're no fun. Steve

Dinadan · September-28-12 15:09

Thanks for the photos, Uncle lee. I agree with 45flint that the boot grips do

not look just right at first glance.

22man · September-28-12 20:09

I like naa boot grips in general,,,,,however I agree that on the sidewinder it seems a little boxy to my eyes,,,,,maybe something to do with the larger square section at the front of the frame? I'll have to see what a longer barreled SW looks like with the rubber grips to decide if I'll get one.....

22man · September-28-12 21:09

other than the horrible photoshop job i did, I like the look of the larger rubber grips on the sidewinder:::::
