Dear God, I love that pistol!

But if I had it I wouldn't dare shoot it, and I shoot all my guns!

Been a bit since I posted another build. I have been shooting and carrying this one for about a month, and forgot to post a build thread...ooops.

Here are some specs:

Caspian Titanium officer frame
Colt enhanced Officer model slide
Wilson Barrel
10-8 Slide release, given a "stepping stone" design
EGW thumb safety, reprofiled
My own barstock rear sight blended into the slide and IONBOND coated
front sight (4140 steel bar stock) with 9ct gold bead
Wilson Bulletproof Beavertail, shortened and reprofiled
Round butted with a 30 LPI serrated MSH and stippled butt (carrying over to the frame), that is dirt in the stippling from todays range session
rear of slide serrated at 50LPI
front of trigger guard flattened/serrated at 40lpi
the trigger started life as an oversized EGW Gold cup and was machined to fit a slightly too wide trigger channel
My style of Mag catch, dimpled and cat's tongue textured.
Front end shows the EGW melt bushing and reverse plug with a .250 diameter guide rod/flat recoil spring.

I beveled the slide and gave it my normal ball end mill look, also ball end mill radiused the front.
Slide was IONBONDED by Club Custom

wearing a set of my own Carbon fiber grips.

Here are some pics...enjoy.

Really nice. I like what you did on the backstrap.

[Roverron]

Very nice! Great color

[ronpaul50]

Very nice. What's the advantage of the flat trigger?

[US.45]

All of these are flat out perfect.

Thanks guys. I have become a convert for flat triggers with a high hand grip. To me they seem much more comfortable and smoother on the pull. I do build some with medium and short length curved triggers.
