    Just finished another HP. New finish

    This HP has all of the usual full house custom features except the finish. It is a custom brushed blue by Glenrock Bluing. Phil is an outstanding individual that still does it the old school way. The finish on this gun is done by polishing the metal after the media blast to get the surface...

    First Custom 9MM SA EMP 1911

    As far as I know, this might be the first custom Springfield EMP 3/4 bob custom out there. Maybe the first custom?:eek This is Springfields brand new baby 1911, and no it is not just plug and play for 1911 parts.:evil: This started as a stock EMP that the custom wanted the butt rounded on to...

    Damascus build set with Titanium Recon Frame

    The front of the slide can be cut by doing "Ball Cuts" to match the frame. Or we can just take that bit of frame off. If you look at the Wilson sight, you will see that he just puts a nice taper on the rail. I would take it either way. The problem is that Caspian Titanium is now "unobtanium" so...

    Damascus build set with Titanium Recon Frame

    I have to share this set. It became available to me recently . It is very rare that I get a set like this into the shop without a customer attached to it. That is why it will not look any different for a while, there is no build spec yet. I just have it sitting out for looking at as the slide...

    Reworked Springfield GI to Carry and Duty Gun

    Colt Retro "Sleeper"

    This was a really fun project. It started with a 1944 Colt slide on another frame with odd ball parts. The customer bought the other gun with the intention of just using the slide for another retro sleeper. And that is what he got. From 2 feet away this just looks like a pristine 1911 (not A)...

    Stippling on a metal gun is done with a series of punches. Thousands of punch strokes ovef several hours of time. Lot's of time. Typically 3-4 hours to do one gunj. With the plastic guns I use a temp controlled soldering iron to keep from burning tthe plastic. I have a link under DYI section for...

    Nice carry Colt with the right stuff

    Here is one example of what I think is an ideal carry gun. Aluminum framed colt with some nice changes. Bobtailed, front strap checkering at 25 LPI, Ed Brown high grip grip safety, some trigger and tuning work. Nothing real fancy to look at and it just works for carry and defense. Jess

    Caspian XR and some custom touches
