put in a 10-8 flat trigger, and recieved the sights. also beveled the the barrel bushing, and i think it came out nicely for my first time. undercut the trigger guard. still needs some work around the front of the slide, but im to tired to do it tonight.
shes decided she wants to do the burnt bronze cerakote instead of matte black.... heres what it looks like, but im trying to talk her into doing the barrel, bushing and trigger all black. and hers will have black grips. Lou at business end customs will be doing my cerakoting for me. guy is one of the best with cerakote, and is a good friend

hmmm, interesting comment
I built, painted and photographed that gun. Small world.
If you need any Cerakote tips, let me know. Glad to help.
disregard my pm, i get what youre saying now.... had me confused... you should pm me again with some prices if youre interested in doing another one?
That 1911 shown is lookin' good!
we took it out this morning and she put about 120 rnds of fmj through it and 7 rnds of pdx1 self defense ammo. not a single ftf or fte, and the thing is pretty damn accurate in both of hands. she likes the bobbed the GS and hammer, so i am going to leave them the way they are. also let her try out a flat and arched msh and she likes the arched better, so now i just need to get a different one and fit it, and see if i can kind of round butt it. she also decided she wants checkering on FS even though she doesn't like the way it looks. the barrel has a touch of play, but with the accuracy i was able to get out of it ( 1 ragged hole at 25 yrds), i just don't see a need to do anything different with it. would like to tighten the frame to slide fit up some, but im not that advanced yet. overall, the gun shot very smoothly and accurately with no problems whatsoever. also going to have the ejection port lowered and flared.
cut a magwell into the frame and did some more sanding on the frame.
IF YOUR NOTICE ON THE BACK, THE ANGLE WAS OFF. I DIDN'T NOTICE TILL I TOOK THE PICTURES, BUT IT HAS SINCE BEEN CORRECTED
