I haven't had time to post any recently completed work lately and wanted to show this one off a bit. I built this one last fall and had it at the SHOT Show. It was built it to the client's specs on a Springfield Mil-Spec. It features:
Novak Lo-Mount rear -w- .150" wide notch & Gold Dot front sight
Wilson Combat S/S barrel & bushing
Tightened slide to frame fit
EGW firing pin stop & Wilson Bulletproof extractor
Front cocking serrations
GI plug & guide
Countersunk slide stop pin
Ball cuts & lower bevel on slide
Wilson beavertail -w- reshaped 'tail
Yo-Bo ignition parts -w- 3 hole trigger
Scalloped front strap & MSH -w- lanyard loop
Beveled mag well
Davidson Horned Lizard grips
Manganese Phosphate Parkerizing

Oh yeah.... :D

Is the finish Mil Spec grey? or is black and the photos make it look grey?
Looks grey to me and I like it. I 've got something very similar to this being built

I saw this fine pistol at the SHOT show. The finish is actually darker than in the pictures.
I was told that the owner shot this gun in single digit temperature and it functioned flawlessly.

I kinda figured being listed as Manganese Phosphate Parkerizing, the build I am having done the smith is doing a Zinc Phosphate Parkerizing to get the greyish/green parked finish

Mr. Harrison , I REALLY like that one! That's just how I would have one set up except maybe for thin grips.

Sweet looking combat pistol John! I'm starting to get the itch to find another 1911 so I can have you do one for me again. Man is this place dangerous. To my wallet! And marriage too! :shock:

There is plenty of great details in each of those pictures, and each one is perfectly executed. Great job John, and congratulations to your very fortunate client!
