Congrats... the workmanship is superb.

 

[Ron-Bon]

Now that is a handsome firearm! I just detest those skelontized hammers

 

[Bozwell]

Love the dehorned look. Bet it feels great in the hand. Threads like this make me start thinking that maybe I need a 1911... one of these days.

 

[helitack32f1]

Simply stunning, in it's simple-ness. Love it!

 

[bannockburn]

Looks extremely clean and straightforward; expertly crafted.

Beautiful work, he's a true artist. That is the tightest beaver tail fit I have ever seen.

 

[EBShooting]

That is a great looking pistol. Enjoy

 

[The_Next_Generation]

Thanks for the new screensaver

 

[Robert101]

Great pistol. I too would be proud to own it. I'm not really a big fan of that much blending though. Just an aesthetic thing for me.

 

[tarosean]

Great work on the dehorn..

 

[OARNGESI]

really niice

 

[mesinge2]

[Tophernj]

That is the best fitted grip safety I have ever seen!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Yup. Almost looks like a part of the frame in the first couple of pics. Gorgeous work.

Congrats on having such a nice piece built. Outstanding workmanship right up to the (plastic?) trigger! But then, that's why they build fords and chevies.

 

[Stringfellow]

Whoa--absolutely stunning! I agree--that is the best fit grip safety I have ever seen.

On another note, when I first skimmed the comment

Great work on the dehorn..

, I thought it said "Great work on the dremel..."

 

[Fishslayer]

Wow... just wow. It's a beauty.

I love the subtlety of the dehorning. Angles where there should be angles, but softly.

And for all the handcrafting and beautiful touches, you resisted the forward cocking serrations. BRAVO!

Too bad we don't have a :drool: emoticon...

 

[Sport45]

Purty.

In the first pic I was wondering if the beavertail was part of the frame.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

I like the tasteful "dehorning" job, especially how the corner of the butt is gently radiused without going into a full "bobtail."

But how does it shoot?

 

[hk-sigman]

Wow!!!

 

[Jeremy Reid]

Thanks guys, I appreciate all of the kind words.

The trigger was at the customers request. And while a plastic trigger sounds cheap, the STI's are really one of the better triggers on the market (extremely light and the bow isn't too long). Especially if somebody wants a long trigger.

That dehorning job is great. Everything else make a terrific package. Gratz.
