Colt Custom Delta Elite build Piper Custom
Just picked this up from Piper Custom. He did this Colt Custom Build for me. The grips are my "Starry Night" grips, although I'm sure that's not what Sarge from The Finer Grain calls them. I've been trying various grips to see what I like best.
I don't have my photo setup any more so these are just iPhone pictures after greasing it up for the range. I hope to take it out for a spin soon.

My wallet was traumatized for sure, but not all at once, over the course of about a year and a half, first the base gun, then the parts, then the work. It's still cowering in the corner though.

Sweet 10mm Dennis. I'm curious about the series 80 conversion. I thought most people go the other way and convert to series 70? Did you add in the firing pin safety block?
