[QUOTE="grwd, post: 1289567, member: 459"] Thanks for the compliments, guys. Id like to thank okieglock83; its really his vision, and he provided the canvas and was the impetus to get the monogrammed bushings. I owe him for much more than his patronage. The best thing about it is he plans to shoot it and use it! Stan, The colors are graphite black and tungsten. Its a bit more subdued and darker than the photos suggest. The rear sight was smoothed out and melted a bit. It was my response with our deciding to stay with the smith and wesson rear sight cut. The grip safety was left stock because the scandium frame grip tang was well undersized and would have required welding up the scandium frame, which I thought was too risky, or building up the grip safety, but we decided the effort and $ could better be put elsewhere. The swartz safety is still operable, and I wish I had weighed it, because this would disappear on one's hip. Its more than combat accurate; the match bushing gave it (what was it, okieglock83?), 1.5-1.75" 5 shot group offhand at 15yds ? (the first time! :)) Fed it with wwb 230gr ball. A few more pics. [attach=full]79250[/attach] [attach=full]79251[/attach] [attach=full]79252[/attach] pardon the dust! [attach=full]79253[/attach] [attach=full]79254[/attach] [attach=full]79255[/attach] Who wants one?? [attach=full]79256[/attach] [/QUOTE]
