Bill, Thank you very much for the update. I have decided to have Matt build mine. I called and talked to him about it when I first saw yours. I told him that there were a few cosmetic things that I wanted done differently than yours and, like you said he seems more than happy to oblige.
No thanks on the open gun though. I just shot my first USPSA match the other weekend and though I have been shooting and competing in other matches for a while now I am going to have this gun built in 9mm for learning purposes. Later when I am good enough that the only thing keeping me from winning matches is the fact that I am shooting minor, I will have Matt build me one in .40 and turn this one into an open gun. Right now I am just not that good and since I can shoot the 9mm in so many other local matches and the ammo is so cheap, that is what I am going with.
Thanks again, Joe.
