Chicks that take an interest guns are cool.

Chicks that love to shoot are even cooler.

A chick that gives her boyfriend a custom-built Caspian is in a category all her own.

This build was an anniversary gift from a young lady to her suitor. It was a fun collaboration between her and I. She spec'd many of the details, and left the rest to me. Between the two of us, this is the result of several months of planning and a few weeks in the shop. Enjoy!

Very nicely done Dave.. I'm a sucker for ivory and blue pins.

My wife has helped finance several projects, she just doesn't always know it before hand :lol:

Again an excellent job..

The crown on the muzzle is AWESOME. Your killing me though. My pistol is sitting there on your shelf with a very minimal build sheet......then I see works like this and start thinking of additional mods. Aye carumba!

Guys:
I'm the recipient of said pistol. Pictures do not simply do it justice. Can't wait to get it out to the range soon. Other than that, I'm still rather speechless.

Her of course! I have to say I am a lucky guy too just last Christmas she surprised me with 2 hand guns but nothing like this! This is beautiful piece of work. How long will those blue screws and pins stay that way?
