Wow, vacuum packed for guaranteed freshness!

I've always admired Paul's work.

Paul Liebenberg is one of the top 3 smiths in the USA in my opinion.
Looking forward to seeing the magic!

back from the range... what a treat to have her back :D

as promised, here are the details:

- retain factory sights (they work very well for me)
- silver solder front sight
- open rear sight notch by 0.010", drop rear sight by 0.010"

- 4.5# trigger
- bevel & narrow hammer
- short aluminum trigger

- Pistol Dynamics 9mm barrel
- Pistol Dynamics stainless bushing
- Pistol Dynamics stainless recoil spring plug
- throat/ramp/crown
- tune extractor

- relieve GI grip safety for commander hammer (like Pachmayr Combat Special)

- bead blast & matte blue finish

The wait was ~1 year. She may seem a little plain, but I'm a minimal frills kinda guy, and it's just what I wanted :lol:

I spent quite a bit of time at the range sorting our a new AR, so I only got to put a few magazines downrange. No surprises, ran like a top; managed to keep everything on a 3"x5" card from IWB concealment @ 15yds with ease (Alessi PCH - not pictured). I can't wait for my next range visit.

Very nicely done! I have also have a 9mm Colt Combat Commander worked over a few months ago by Novaks. You don't see many in 9mm that have been worked over which makes it all the better.
