Crappy Cell-phone pics, I know. I'll have the camera back as soon as the wife gets home tomorrow and I'll post up some better pics then.
That's right - its a Sig P226 Blackwater Tactical Combat Threaded barrel. I don't know if you can cram more $#!+ onto a Sig handgun, but I'd be impressed to see it. Honestly, I think when I actually fire this gun, it might just divide by zero and destroy us all.
My issue with these two guns was that they both had pretty, hard-to-replace finishes on parts of them (the FDE finish is a send-back to sig and pay for it to be re-applied for an outlandish fee, and I haven't been able to find out if they'll even re-do the Blackwater logo on the slide or sell the Blackwater grips).
I hate having more than one or two safe-queen (pretty) guns that I can't really use, so I combined the slide/grips off of the blackwater onto the frame/barrel of the combat and it gets shot at the range but babied for the most part and stays loaded for home defense (i.e. not in and out of a holster).
Also, by combining all of this stuff into one gun, the left over parts actually make a very nice gun to go shoot some matches (as soon as my new Raven Holster comes in). Its got the beavertail of the blackwater, checkered front-strap and front of the trigger guard, and now a finish on both the slide and frame that can be scuffed, etc... and I can just get them refinished (sure the frame might not be Nitrolined, but I can get something like Robar, Ceracoat, etc... and sleep just fine at night).
I'm actually trying to find an X5 mag-well to put on this one (if it will work).
Here it is (with some digital camo grips that I got for the combat once upon a time):
