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...
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...
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...
Playing with the camera. I think that I got a lot better detail and overall sharpness with this set of pics. This camera does too much.

The gun is a Scandium S&W with snakeskin bob, target crown and other good stuff. Combat Black Duracoat and Tripp hardchrome on the slide. The gun is...
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)...
Customer sent me his bone stock SA GI. He was after a reliable carry and duty gun. Some of the modifications made were,
Yost Retro Rear Sight
Kings Tappan Front Sight
Wilson Thumb Safety
Match barrel bushing
Wilson Bullet Proof Extractor
STI sear
Nowlin Commander Hammer
STI titanium...
Here are some pics of a Ti bobtail that is about ready to go home. We will engrave the OnTarget logo in the grips this week. I had this gun along with a half a dozen others at a gunshow this last weekend to show some work and this gun along with another XD .45 were the most looked at and tried...
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.

I was at a gun show on the wester slope in Colorado near Durango. I was setting up demo pistols and just advertising services. I have an XD that I have midly customized set up to show what could be done to them. There were a couple of gentleman that tried the trigger and then the grip with the...
Hi all,
Haven't been posting here for a while. I have been way too busy with life, getting a new shop building outfitted and running, and just working on pistols. Just thought I would post this one here as it is something really a bit different. It is based on the excellent Caspian XR kits pus...
I got an XD-45 for the pure purpose of playing with it to see what could be done to make it better. One of the first things this one got is a lighter trigger work over for a 4. lb crisp trigger pull with adjustable pre-travel. And all of the usual internal fluffing and buffing. I also added a...
I have just started working on the S&W M&P and am very favorably impressed with these pistols. This one belongs to one of my very good customers. It has trigger and reliability work and the custom texturing or stippling on the front and rear strap. I will be taking the slide to the shop today to...
I am building a few titanium commanders in various calibers. This one will be a .45. And the pics are just bench pics. I was just too excited not to share. I just got some frames back from EGW for CNC checkering today and as always, the checkering is flawless! I will do my best to keep up with...
This one has been in the works for a long while. I have posted a few pics of this before, but it is in the presentation case winging its way to the customer as I write this. This is one of the more complete HP workovers that I have done and it will truly be one of a kind. Please note the...
Seems like this is all I am posting anymore is bobtails. There is other more different work in the works, I promise!
S&W Scandium Commander
EGW Match bushing
EGW Titanium hammer, MSH cap and pin, hammer strut.
EGW sear and leaf spring

I have been working on this Hi Power for sometime. It is pretty much full house. Final assembly and tuning and it will be done. I was just too excited about the excellent Tripp hard chrome that I could not resist posting before it was finished.
C&S sear and type II hammer
C&S extended safety...
I have had this one on the back burner for several months. Just got some time in the shop to work on one of my pieces this weekend. This one is
Caspian carbon steel frame and slide, 1911A1 specs
Stormlake Match barrel
EGW match bushing
EGW sear, leaf spring and disconnect
EMC wide spur...
Just got the old web page that I used to have up back up and running and revamped. Many thanks to P95Carry for the help in getting the site up and running. He is a kind old wizard. You can find the link to the checkering here.

This was all done...
Not sure that this belongs here, but it is a custom so....
This came in to the shop today. It is my first exposure to an older "custom". Thought you all might enjoy seeing pics of it. This is just as it came in. The only thing that I am concerned about at all is the rollmarks are really light...
I am in the process of bobtailing a Wilson Protector. Thought you might like to see it. The gun will be going back to Tripp Research to get the frame hard chromed again. The bobtail MSH is stainless.
