So I hit up <span style="color: #FF9900">Controlled Chaos Arms</span> and said I have a Sig P226 Tac Ops that needed a bit of grip loving...

After I decided on style and color I told him I wanted a little CCA bling thrown into the mix to separate it from the pack.
He said no problem, pop 'em in the mail.
So I do.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
I wait a WHOPPING week and a half for them to get back to me.

Wait.

What?

It was only a week and a half???!!! Guess I was excited to get them back, lol.
As a heads up peeps, if you need faster turnaround time (say for a duty weapon) just contact Mike beforehand. He'll take care of you! Just want the panels done? No prob. Complete wraparound? No prob.
If you dream it, he can do it.

Complete BADDASSERY!!!
Feel and purchase on the pistol is fucking outstanding!
Doesn't have that annoying sharp edge feeling, either.

On a scale of 1-5, I give these:
Finish: 5
Durability: 5
Appearance: 5
Price: 5
Customer Service: 5

Basically the whole transaction was just outstanding. Zero regrets about dealing with Mike.



So ladies, if you want want some kickass work done to El Pistola, go check out Mike Ware at Controlled Chaos Arms or just send him a PM at <span style="color: #FF9900">Controlled Chaos Arms</span>




Dig it!
Dig it hard!

How to describe it...

It's rough enough to grab skin, yet not so rough or sharp that it is uncomfortable, or bites in and hurts.
I guess "grippy" would be a good adjective, lol.

Tried it with 3 different pairs of gloves (because some of us actually HAVE to wear gloves in the Winter
wink.gif
), and all three worked great. You'd need a pry bar to get it loose.
 
Re: CCA Grip Texturing job by septic-tank13!!!

I like. Its nice to break up a all black gun. Looks great.
 
Re: CCA Grip Texturing job by septic-tank13!!!

Do you really carry a double action gun cocked?
 
Re: CCA Grip Texturing job by septic-tank13!!!

No prob, Mikey.
A few keystrokes fixes that easy enough in the original post.


As an update:

I've taken her to the range 5 times so far, and have beaten the shit out of her every time.
This grip texture is FANTASTIC!
Sweaty hands? No prob.
Dirty hands? No prob.
Greasy/Oily hands? No prob.
Has not peeled or flaked one bit!

HIGHLY recommend this being done to anyone's weapon!!!
Don't vibe on the tan? Check his SITE , he's got other colors for you to choose from.



Oh, and you guys will be glad to know that Serpa holster has been retired.

Ya know, when I first heard this I thought "That is a really bad idea". Then I decided to consider 'why'. I do not believe that I would EVER recommend that someone do that & don't do it myself, but assuming you are not a complete clown (and I don't get the impression that you are 'Megacab'), it's probably not as dangerous as it initially sounded. With that extended beaver tail to protect the hammer & the Serpa holster with a solid cover of the trigger & trigger guard, I guess it's not so bad.

Still, it's not for me

. By the way, great looking 226, that makes me want to take a cruise over to Iowa.

Thank you, J. You are certainly correct on all accounts. My new Safariland ALS holster is better than the Serpa as well. In ALL aspects.

As Downzero may not have realized prior to his insightful and just incredibly monumental query, I discovered long ago that no matter WHAT I do, I simply cannot find a way to make a gun go "bang" without my finger being on the trigger. Wait...I think I just stumbled upon a "game changer"!!!

And no need to cruise over to Iowa, brah.
Fed Ex, UPS, and USPS know where 8401 Hwy S52 North, Baxter IA, 50028 is.

Unless, of course, you just want to go and meet some great people!
