Them's the ones where when it comes time to ship, as you're boxing it up, you suddenly realize that in the back of your mind you've been concocting a story to give the customer instead of his gun...... geez, sorry sir, the dog ate your custom 1911.......

Very nice John!

As a matter of fact, I do. I've overlooked the need to make an announcement and will make up for it here and now. http://www.louderthanwords.us/forum/vie ... f=6&t=7530

The work looks great. As, it always does. Beyond that, where did those grips come from (tree type)? I really like the grain pattern.

Hi Greg,

Those are Cocobolo by Craig Spegel.

Mr Harrison,

I just saw this(he said wondering if mental age is catching up to physical age) and I have to say it is absolutely remarkable. Even in my caliber of choice too. Well done sir! I love it.

Stay safe,

Al
