PaulW Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Dan just finished this gun for Clint. He'll be using it for some IDPA matches so it's a bushing barrel. Also the mag well was thinned to make IDPA legal. Nice Enhanced Service Pistol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 pretty sweet. If'n I liquidate some stuff I just might be in the market. That's a lot like what I shoot now in Standard / Limited. I'm pretty happy with my open blaster, and having something that I can extend the olive branch to our little brothers in IDPA is always nice.

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 i expect clint to give me a write up on it's performance once he receives it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtr Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Curious what kinda mag well that is and why it has to be shaved, I guess IDPA guns have to fit in a box? Second is there any kind of a weight restriction for IDPA guns? Looks nice, I want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Since you can't have a long dustcover, bull barrel, or anything made of tungsten, I bet you couldn't go over the IDPA weight limit with an STI if you tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper1Moore Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeah he's like a kid waiting for Santa to come.We're going to the range tommorow to put a few rounds down range and will give it a good wringing out.He will probably be at UPS in the morning before they open.The gun looks great in the pics. RTR, The magwell can't be over 1 5/8 in wide.As for the weight limits I couldn't tell you the exact number as I shoot a Glock (you could tie a brick to it and probably still make weight)LOL If I was looking to get a 1911 for competition Dan Bedell would be getting my money.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDELLCUSTOM Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 i'm not up on any IDPA stuff so i just built it to fit what Clint wanted it for. i'll tell you one thing, Clint plays a mean guitar, i heard it on the Juggernaut CD he sent me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Second is there any kind of a weight restriction for IDPA guns? Looks nice, I want one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 43 Ounces for ESP and 41 for CDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint U66 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for posting the pics Paul. It looks like Dan outdid himself on this one!! I spoke with Dan a few months back about doing an IDPA legal widebody and was thinking that he may not be interested in building something of this nature........he basically said whatever you want I can do it!! So here is the finished product and man it has surpassed all my expectations!! Thanks again Dan for working with me and putting together something top notch. Can't wait to get it to the range tomorrow!!! I'll let you guys know how it goes. Clint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cking Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I love the safeties on gun, Did Dan build those????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDELLCUSTOM Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 believe it or not, those are swensons. if you have never seen swensons in their unfinished state they don't look anything like they do after i work them over. swensons are in a very rough cast form when you get them. after grinding and filing and polishing and grinding and filing and polishing and grinding and filing and polishing, then they actually start to look like something. and when i'm done with them, i look like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axray Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I love the safeties on gun, Did Dan build those????? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess the safeties are tuned swensons. they look great. really a nice looking gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 and your point is ? Paul well Clint, you back from breakin' that new blasta in. give me an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint U66 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 \../ NEW GUN IS AWESOME \../ \../ NEW GUN IS AWESOME \../ Just got back from the range and as I expected the new blaster shot flawlessly. I shot some minor loads with the heavy and light recoil master and with minor and a light spring this thing shoots soooooo light it"s unreal!! The major loads shot great as well. I didn't get to shoot as much as I would have liked because I would shoot 25 rounds and let the gun cool while Ken and I worked on some stages for tomorrows match. I did get to show the plate rack who's boss though!! After doing this a few times it got really dark and started raining like hell!! I will stick around after the match and finish breaking it in tomorrow. All in all the gun shoots great, feels great and looks great......what more can you ask for? Thanks again to Dan and Chuck for working with me on building exactly what I asked for. I'll give you guys a little more detailed info tomorrow.
