Matt Cheely Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) A bit of my handy work. Not totally done but I'm getting there. Note the custom beavertail/mainspring housing: The "before" picture. Edited November 18, 2006 by Matt Cheely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmap Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 That's pretty but it'd look better if you had a pic of your sister next to it. Sorry.....I had to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gameplayer Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Neat little piece. What other plans do you have for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dame Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Pretty slick idea Matt, what made you think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Neat little piece. What other plans do you have for it? Want to do some more machine work on the slide. Add front serrations, and finish replacing all of the kimber MIM parts. Pretty slick idea Matt, what made you think of that? I remember seeing a king time ago that someone made a MSH like this one because thier wife/daughter had small hands. I just think it is nice and slick for a carry gun.

Flexmoney Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Is that the Novak MSH/grip safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Is that the Novak MSH/grip safety? Ed Brown beavertail and a S&A mainspring housing. Welded & blended together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierruiggi Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Matt, why did you choose to go with that custom fused grip safety/mainspring housing instead of getting the Novak part? Is it because it's an officer's frame? Also, no grip tape, checkering, scalloping, snake skin, any other means of improving friction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that Novak makes a similar part! ETA: I found it on their website I do find it slightly funny that they took 8 months of R&D and I finished mine in one day.

It's kind of like NASA spending millions of dollars to engineer a pen that will write in space. The Russians settled for a pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
