titandriver Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Got this yesterday - extra special thanks go out to Bobby Keigans @FGW for the great deal on the P-T frame and to Glenn R (S&W wheelnut here) for providing the slide and the AWESOME machine work! If I could remember the dudes name that I got the spiral fluted SV barrel from (on this forum) I'd like to thank him as well. Gotta trim back the dust cover yet & I'll be good to go!

392heminut Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Why would you trim the dust cover off ??? Looks F'ing sexy brotha Looks like in the pics that the dust cover is just a little longer than the cuts on the slide. Great looking gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Death Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The back looks like it is sticking out too, wonder if the barrel lugs are cut far enough ?? Anyway very nice looking gun, congrads on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the same thing. OP, can you, using a bit of force, completely close the slide?(if you can, it will be pretty hard to open back) That would confirm barrel lugs aren't cut far enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Often a new build will take a few rounds to fully seat everything, I would not do anything to it until it has had a few hundred run thru it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titandriver Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Aaaaack....a shit storm! Guys, the 'smith that built it only had the frame/slide/barrel and never fired it. He told me about the slide overhanging the frame and suggested shooting 400-500 rounds through it then bring it back and he'd take care of any issues. After I slammed it together I snapped a couple o' pics without thinking about the slide issue and posted 'em. It has been below zero here and I've had no chance to shoot it. Seein' as how it's supposed to hit 30 tomorrow I'll blast a bunch o' rounds through it and see what happens. MWX40x40 - it's a Shooters Design magwell. Thanks!

RippSpeed Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) New pics up, it is a finished product now! Man I'm a big fan of top serations... Its has that old school custom look that you dont see much in newer pistols any more It makes your 6" looks damn sexy ... I wish I could have gotten my top serated but with the tri-top and the sight tracker cut, it left too little meat to be reliable in the long run... Hey Rich; I have a few questions for your... how do you like the extreme hammer ??? Was it chromed when you bought it ??? Whats your trigger pull ??? What thumb safety is that ??? And lastly is your pistol cerakoated or is that still in white ??? Edited January 18, 2013 by RippSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titandriver Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hey Ripp -- I like the Extreme fire control parts and only use that on my actual competition pistols. I also use EGW & SV fire control parts on occasion but that's it. The Extreme hammer is exactly as it came from Rene at SSI. My trigger breaks at just under 2 lbs on my RCBS scale. That's as low as I go on my Limited pistols but using the same fire control parts on my Open pistols - last shot in '07 - I could go to 24 ounces pull weight. The thumb safeties I stole off my JV Dynamics five incher. I LOVE those thumb safeties, as do you with JoJo's brothers safety. It is in the white with just a bead-blasting. I like the way it looks and think I'll just leave it that way. Maybe we'll meet up someday at a match and be able to compare pistols! Those Grams pads I bought from ya are still going strong!
