SLide Mod. - Armond Swenson Style

[BlindJustice]

Does any Custom shop these days offer the modification
to the slide of a 1911 as Armond Swenson did back
in the Day? I am referring to his 1911 work where he stippled
the top arch of the slide. He also cut into the slide to make
room for a S & W adj. rear sight . Of course these days we
have a lot of 1911s offered with the bead blast or Matte finish
but it isn't the same as having an artisan stipple the top of
the slide for a persoanl touch.

FYI for rookies, Armond Swenson invented the ambidextrious
safety

You mean like this 'un?


Heirloom Precision aka Ted Yost did a Retro Package when they were Yost~Bonitz. He can probably fix you up.

You forgot at least one other mod that makes an A. Swenson: the squared trigger guard...Quite a fad back then.....
