No, I built it for a range/target gun. Won’t be shooting any comps. Just always wanted a fairly custom pistol.

Been working with Don on a custom build. I think it turned out great and can’t wait to get to the range!!! Cheely xwf frame and hybrid/island barrel should lead to a smooth, flat shooting range gun.

Currently in the process of having a 2011 built. The gun will have a 5” barrel, Cheely xw frame, rall front sight, and a Sro. Who makes, or can make this holster?

After reading your posts, I’m even more excited about the hybrid/island pistol we are in the process of building! Sounds like it will be a beauty!

Around 4-5 months…

Currently have a 2011 limited 9mm built by Venom Customs. Haven’t held it yet, but communication has been excellent and he answers every question in great detail.

Yes sir, I put a deposit down on a venom…

Yes sir, we have talked about it and I think I know what I want to go with.

Thank you!

Just put a deposit down on a Venom Custom 2011 9mm hybrid/island barrel gun. I’m trying to decide between the standard or the extra wide frame. What is the general consensus? Pros or cons of each? Thanks!

valid points. Thank you! The more I look at venom or the semi-custom builders the more I’m drawn to them.

In my search for a Doublestack 9mm I’ve run across venom custom guns. I spoke with Don, the owner, and he seemed extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. My question is how do his guns stack up against other firearms like atlas or Nighthawk for range and play use?

Looking at Akai 2011 and I’ve run across a couple barrel options. First is the standard bull barrel, next is the hybrid/island and finally the oversized tungsten sleeved barrel. I grasp the concept of the bull and the hybrid/island but what is the benefit of the tungsten sleeved barrel? Weight?

Getting ready to purchase, or order, a new Doublestack 9mm that will be range use only. I’m interested in the Guncrafter Hellcat x2, Atlas Athena, and Nighthawk TRS comp. The guncrafter has a 7 month wait, atlas is pretty quick, and nighthawk is 22-24 months. I like the features, and camo patterns on the Guncrafter, but I’ve never held one. Am I giving up anything with the GC over the Atlas or NH?

I have a Springfield TRP full rail that I would like to have cut for a rmr. I would also like the trigger cleaned up a little and maybe just have the entire gun smoothed out a little. What smith do you recommend for this type of work?
