Thank you . First full build , definitely a learning process. Many things I will do different next time . I’m paying close attention to all the fixtures that you make .

Ready for test fire . Then final sanding ( lots of sanding ) before off for some kind of finish . Trigger came out at a little under 3 lbs .

Big fan of Novak sights , really Novak anything.

You’re going to have to do your homework on your specific red dot that you choose and the pistol you choose. For instance the RMR/SRO screw mounting holes are too wide for 1911/2011 and Hi-Power . So you have to use a plate . The RMR has to have a sealing plate but not the SRO . Not a problem...

I felt the same way . Out of the box a 9 lb gritty creepy trigger . Now it’s 4 . Novak sights and a commander hammer . Easily my best shooting open sight 9mm now .

My lightest one yet . Much easier to keep it light with a bull barrel and larger diameter bullet
