To say I am a sucker for tu tone guns is an understatement. Maybe it is because while they became very popular with the IPSC crowd some years ago, they never seem to go out of style. The Series 80 pictured below is a customer gun. Not much different than most of us would like a custom carry gun done for ourselves. This one has customer spec'd Esmerelda custom Cocobolo stocks, a gold line front, YoBo Pro Grade sights, and all the custom touches that make these worth building.

I love sitting at my bench working when I can. Sometimes it is a grind, but when you hear Theo get excited about almost every build you wonder how someone keeps up the enthusiasm over a twenty year career.

Ted has a rifle in the works right now. Fiddleback wood, and every single detail touched on. That gets us all rev'd up. No more on the rifle until some snaps are taken.

I will post some additional pics here this weekend. How about a switch top P-35 in .40 and 9mm? Or a Retro Tu Tone .38 Super? Cool stuff comin' out

The best day this week was when C.T. Brian and his wife Susan rolled through the shop, terrorizing Phoenix on their Harleys. Some of the best people anyone could know. We hung out, BS'd, and had a nice afternoon. Not a bad day. Well, enough typing, here are some shots.

ANOTHER nice one, Steve!

But I gotta admit, I really want to see the Super

anything less is uncilvilize...from master Yoda. Ted I want that in a 6", still waiting for my Bar-Sto barrell and it will be on the way. Hopefully sometime next week, we'll be in touch very soon.

Nice pics by the way Steve

Steve,

As per usual, those pics are outstanding. That's a sweet pistol. Looking at the guns coming out of you guys' shop is just killing me. It makes me rethink the two I have there every time I see something different. The good thing is, it seems like there's no way to really go wrong since the execution is always top notch. Ted, you have a triangle gun of mine that might have to look something like this in the end. Two tone is just too cool.

Toan,

If you're waiting on a Bar-Sto and it's a while off still, Brownells stocks the 6" Kart barrels in .38 Super and .45. I have a 6" .45 with a Kart barrel that is absolutely reliable and accurate as anything. You may want to consider that as a second option (or first). Just a thought.

There's just something about two tone 1911's. Beautiful.

Jim,
thanks for advice... but my Bar-Sto came yesterday and it will be sent off to Ted in a few days.
