A clean commander-length package with an appealing "ripple" theme - the BP Tsunami.

When I first looked at it I didn't think I would like it. But I kept going back to each pic and noticing the little details and guess what? I think it is great. I love the angle cut on the dust cover. The "wave" pattern grew on me. A lot! Everythong just lines up perfectly. Good job!

Thanks for the compliment, Al. The ripple pattern is really effective in reducing the glare off of the slide's sighting plane and exceptionally functional on the front strap in terms of improving the gripping surface. This particular pistol was a special build in 10mm and the recoil and overall control was exceptionally manageable and secure, respectively - and without the bite. The ripple theme doesn't appeal to everyone, but as you mentioned, it does have a tendency to grow on you.

I really like the front portion of the frame right below the ball cut. I noticed you cut the frame at a angle, I havn't seen that before but looks awsome.

Thanks for the compliment, rccolt.45 I intentionally have the frame manufacturer leave the dust cover long so that there's enough material to create the angular cut without exposing the interior of the slide.
