I know it's a long shot, and I can almost hear the laughter reverberating from all directions, but...

do any of the regulars/smiths around here have time to build a shooter based on a Baer Monolith frame and slide, and have it done in the next 90 days (give or take, say, 15 days max)?

Nothing crazy (no hand checkering, no engraving, no welded magwells, no front cocking serrations, etc). Really, not much different than a stock Baer but with some specific sights and a few other tweaks of a personal nature.

Anyone have any suggestions, like - send it here for X then there for Y then have Z put it together and such?

And please, I'm not in any way suggesting the amazing work you folks do can or should be rushed - I'm just (apparently) eaten up with a bit of wishful thinking.

Thanks in any case.

Hi Fly, I can't help you, I wish I could to GS work. What I wanted to ask was why do you need it so soon. Not being nosey but if its because you are planning to be deployed overseas I am sure one of our fine Smith would help.

Let us know.

Building Hand Crafted Leather for the 1911 Platform

No, though I am a Desert Storm vet, and I'm currently overseas and about to return home - this isn't as honorable a reason.

Simple truth is, I've been in Japan and Taiwan for several months on business and I sold my last 1911 before leaving to come over here so now that I'm returning home next week I'm simply very excited to have a new one and was crossing my fingers on the long shot that someone could squeeze something like this in...

I love Asia, but there are three things I miss dearly - good/cheap Mexican food, good BBQ, and a nice 1911 I can shoot often.

Thanks for asking though.

If you can't wait, just search for a Brown or a Wilson in your price range, They'll do the job, and you'll have a quality pistol plus plenty of time to have one built when you come home. If it's good Mexican food and BBQ, you should be Arizona bound!

Austin, TX bound actually - but I spent 13 years in Arizona (Tempe and Scottsdale) and the admittedly pathetic part is that I somehow never new of the fine folks at the (then) Yo-Bo shop until -after- I moved away from the surface (I mean valley) of the sun. I must have been near the shop a thousand times and just not known it. It makes me laugh at myself.

I do miss many aspects of AZ, and just thinking of Los Dos Molinos makes my mouth water. It's all good, there's no shortage of good food of both the Mexican and BBQ variety in Austin.

Yost, Jason, Chuck Rogers, Ted Williams, what more do you want?
Now Los Dos Molinos (the original down on south Central Ave) can't be beat, no matter where you move!

I know, it's sort of painful to admit - for the entire time I was living in AZ I was effectively a 1911 retard... or at best, benignly ignorant to the amazing level of work these folks ship out of their respective shops and how different that is from stock pistols and average smith work. I have since awakened the beast/fan within and have come back from the dark side.
Right, the one on Central was my favorite. Absolutely delicious food...
