beautiful pistol man....let us know how she does when you get her broken in

the OP's question was "svi prices,worth it?". stay on topic bud,or post elsewhere. the question had nothing to do with max, sevigny, blake, manny,only svi pistols value. You weren't very good at connect the dots as a child, were you? sorry if that hurt your feelings ....its just best to stay on topic.

very nice looking build! anxious to see the results

if it were me..........i would contact joe chambers and i would talk with brandon at svi. either choice would leave you very satisfied.

HAHA!!!!!

if you ever get down to houston carlos.........let me know! we gotta go shooting sometime

haha! love that last vid!!!!!!!!!! TOO FUNNY! we would get along just fine just awesome!

i have had doug accurail quite a few of my guns and his work has always been very fair priced, excellent quality with fast turn around. id say definintly give him a call

thanks,im pretty excited about it.....me being a bit of builder myself,its exciting to see in person how its done I bet they don't let you go in the shop and look around too much. Liability and all... If Trace hasn't seen it all I don't think they will let you have free reign in the shop. oh i dont expect any kind of free reign there,that would be silly to expect that. i just wanna check some of it out.....in whatever aspect that may be. im just looking to be a tourist.........albeit a very attentive one

thanks,im pretty excited about it.....me being a bit of builder myself,its exciting to see in person how its done Nice you will love it...I have considered svi, but the wait time and acess to a good local smith steered me away. Cheers, Los thanks bud. i appreciate that

Well my point was that there is no such thing as less physical fitting... Because the parts they make and the parts the sell are just as oversized as others...Other wise you run the risk of buying a part for a build or for replacement that fits loose.. so are you saying the sldes and frames are oversized when they are machined? i would think they would be machined to such a close tolerance that there would be far less fitting required to make them physically fit together. their barrels have a finished barrel hood length of 1.315,but the lower lugs are left oversized.i would think on their aet barrels that only go in their guns,that the barrel lug profile and thickness could be done on a mill simply based off math. am i misunderstanding?I don't work there so I can't tell you for sure...But they do sell their slide and frames just like Sti, and it would not be cost efficient to manufacture two specs (for sales vs internal).. Common sense would dictate that for ultimate fit and last of fit, then fitting would be done after the manufacturing process (initially with a secondary mill or cnc, and then by hand with lapping compound)... I would bet that svi has a couple of smith work on the gun, each one specializing on a particular fitting process.. But as I said before I don't work there so I wouldn't know their inner workings... If you are paying 5k for a gun, I would hope that the majority of the cost is on the man hours that go into fitting a gun to perfection. And not on machine time which is relative cheap compared to manual labor... Cheers, Los i am going to pick up my svi from them in person in april.....i am going to see how they do it. im anxious to see how its done now. your right about the labortime vs machine time. ill report back after my trip down there....

id like to think that with less physical fitting work required,they put more attention to detail in getting a higher level of radial lug contact,slide fit and feel etc......
