gotm4 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Here's some teaser pics of Kevin Greeleys' (http://www.greeleycustom.com/) work to my STIs slide and frame. I wanted it a lot lighter since I'm very used to much lighter Glocks and M&Ps in Production, I didn't want to go really crazy on the slide in fear of in not lasting very long. I asked for early 1911 lightening cuts at the muzzle, shorten the dust cover and mill the cocking serrations to flat spots and do the 'Fish Gill' cuts on the top edges of the slide. I can't wait to get this back and start shooting it. I think it looks great! Here's what it looked like previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotm4 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Pretty awsome, how much did he charge you ??? $250 and took less than a week. He went through the entire gun making sure everything was working correctly as well. My pistol is stainless so it didn't need refinishing. He was going to polish the grip and thumb safety but I told him not to and to just bead blast them and where he did the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
