Ho hum..... yet another smoking gat from Chuck Rogers.

Sun rises in the east and you turn out jaw dropping guns. All is well with the universe, except for the fact that isn't my gun.

Distinctive, innovative, superbly machined and executed....in other words, a one of a kind "Rogers" pistol all the way!

Great job brother! It's 11:41 PM and you've inspired me to fire up the Bridgeport and make some chips..... :D

That is sweet! I love the golf ball treatment.

Is that hand milled or CNC? I can't imagine the time it would take to do it by hand.

Reduced slide mass minus(-) cosign of golfball treatment plus(+) frame leverage weight of magwell plus squareroot of intangable beauty factor leads me to believe this is scientifically proven to be ONE MAGNIFICENT PISTOL FROM ONE MAGNIFICENT PERSON!

Well done sir!

To say that I'm impressed would not be enough Chuck.

Please PM me a price and turnaround (I will supply the pistol) for one as shown.

Thanks,

Barry

I saw this one while it was still nekkid :shock: :oops: Chucks machine work is really something to behold, along with his attention to detail and overall execution. Hell of a job man.

Chuck,

Thanks for sharing. Smokin' awesome as usual.

Do you have an idea how much the slide weight is reduced by the deep flutes? Is a change in spring rate required for the recoil spring?

The more I look at this blaster the more the WOW factor is off the meter! :shock: From the Golf ball treatment to the magwell. The cuts in the slide are just awesome looking. Dehorned beautifully and the pins on the right side appear to be worked over so they don’t protrude. The barrel hood all black as well as the trigger is something you don’t see often and I personally think it looks FABULOUS! 8) You are the man buddy!
Also, the fact that Chuck’s guns run and I mean RUN WELL is just icing on the cake.

What type of front sight do you use Chuck? Looks very similar to the one that you put on mine.

Someone has requested a beautiful build… Now I will go wipe the drool off of my keyboard. :wink:

Another awesome beauty! I like the slide treatment. Very different. Also like the overall golfballing. Do I remember that you use Gun-Kote on these?

Hi Chuck

Simply unique and beyond my imagination. Beautiful.

I don't even want to think of the cost. :)

It must have taken hours to develop fixtures to hold all the pieces.

You are the man!

Thanks.

be safe irv

Chuck,

When Roy Huntington sends me a link to these pictures, all excited about your work, and running out of superlatives (which I think is hard for Roy to do :lol: ), I have to wonder what I can add!

Fantastic work. Again!

That is an incredible 1911.

The slide cuts, top of slide serrations and golf ball checkering are beautiful.

Smokin' Chuck. Just simply smokin'.

You might want to send it to me, just so I can see if it feels as good as it looks.

I'll send it right back.

Promise.

Really.

I'm serious.

Trust me. Here's proof - I can't type with my fingers crossed........

I definitely need a job with a higher pay grade for something like that. D@mn fine looking pistol Chuck and at least I can save these pictures to my computer and drool over them.
