My next project Gear Pics

Y'all may know I love diversion cases and hidden secret squirrel spy stuff. So this is the new case I'm adapting for my Ps90 SBR. Double points if anyone actually knows the reference. Lastly, any tips or advice on re-lining instrument cases is much appreciated (since most of my musical experience is limited to running a sound board for a local band).

Is that a vintage P228, or the modern M-11A1? How do you like it?

A few years ago I got a Rings blue plastic training gun modeled after the P228 to teach myself safe handling and sighting with both eyes open. I thought it was the most comfortable thing I had ever held. Fast forward to last year when I got my CZ 75. Comparing between the 2 the P228 grip is so awkward and top heavy, guess my ergonomic preference evolved lol. I don’t like how it forces my right hand thumb down, the CZ instead has a thumb shelf that forms very well to where my thumb naturally wants to go.

It's an old AWB era P228. It was actually inherited from my grandfather. It's alright, I guess. Though I honestly prefer slimmer grips like those found on most single stack pistols or steep grips like a Ruger Mk4, Luger, or Chiappa Rhino. The P228 is not one I'd carry, I'm perfectly happy with a normal G19 clone for that. It's not necessarily bad in any specific way, just kinda mediocre.
