Damn those look nice . . . LOVE the polished crown.

How made the front sight? Is it ceramic? The white ball that is.

 

[modrifle3]

Just get the remaining controls hard chromed and you will have an even better looking set.

The whiteball insert is HDPE.

The pistols will be returning for more work to include thumb and grip safeties.

Excellent work, nice choices!

Tempting, very tempting.

I really like that stop pin under the right side safety. Gets rid of the somewhat mushy feeling the ambi safeties have.

Huh? :shock: :?:

Take a look at the pics in the thread at the top of the page. My comment will make more sense.

I guess I'm just clueless.
I've looked at the pics a dozen times and still don't understand what stop pin you're talking about.
I'm sitting here with a 1911 in hand trying to figure out what it is I'm not seeing.
Please describe what it is that I'm missing.

There are no safety levers on the right side in either gun.
Are you reffering to the slide release lever through-pin? Those are both nicely recessed on the right side...

Apparently Az guys don't know squat about 1911s because I still can't see a right side safety or a stop pin... the 2nd pic shows the right side of one of the pistols clearly and there just ain't no ambi safety there.

Very tidy work Mr. Rogers. Could you list the modifications you've made? I count 16 (at least).
