As I have said in other posts. You get to meet some good folks in this business. John Del Pinto introduced me to a great guy last year. In fact after bs'n a little this guy says "hey would you guys build me a gun?" Well, in fact that is what we do.

This is his first custom 1911 and he is one of the good guys. Patient as Job, and easy to deal with. I only snapped a few of his new gun. We just want some of it to be a surprise. He knew what he wanted, and especially wanted it to be black, and wanted some pics... Well here you go.

patient as Job huh? well steve embelishes a little I tried to be patient it just got down to the wire at the end of it gotta get it for ccw class and what not. Steve on the other hand has been great to deal with, allowing me to call him and all the rest of the shop with all my incessent questions. Needless to say I can't wait to get it, i've got ammo to burn and classes to take. As steve mentioned it is my first custom and i've already got some of Lou's leather for it so I will post some more pics once I get it. Because of the amazing way i've been treated they already have 2 more of my guns with more on the way for any of you that are waiting to pull the trigger, i went ahead and ordered a custom 1911 without ever firing one but i am not worried in the least in fact i am sure to be surprised. Thanks again steve looks good!

Trevor

A YO-BO custom and leather from Uncle Lou, oh happy days! :) :) I am a big fan of both.

Great choices, sir. Congrats and enjoy.
