The cuts LOOK nice, but know when you rack the slide, you have saw teeth on the top... I woun't of milled all the way thru, maybe come down on the slide a little more and left about .020 before going thru.. the gun is coming along and looks AWESOME, can't wait to see it done.

Thanx for the comments guys...

She almost done @ my gunsmiths ... after that shes getting some custom engraving @ sureshotprecision.com and then the slide will get the hard chrome treatment @ techplate.com and the barrel will get TiN coated...

Range Report:

[/media]

I zero'ed before shooting the match... Didnt even need to adjust the sight it was dead on already.

The slide feels soo slow compared to my STI Edge ... But the gun shoots flat and straight... Very Happy with how she turned out... I ended up use a 5" Guide Rod and Reverse plug and a 9lbs Sprinco w/ a Dawson Aluma Buff...

Final weight 39.6oz vs Stock 45oz

That really turned out nice............. what kind of finish are you going with..? I like the top of the barrel......... that looks good.

Just planning on a mixture of dark grey hard chrome and polished Hard chrome on the slide and the top of the barrel. While I'm going to TiN the barrel but the top of the island is going to be a dark grey hard chrome...
