She's a beauty, Chuck! I always enjoy seeing the pictures of your work here and on 1911forum.com

What finish is on that particular pistol, and whose rear sight is that? I thought at first it might be one of your modified Heinies, but then the back end of it looked different.

Thanks again for sharing your work with us.

Buck,
Thanks for the kind words!
The rear sight is my 'Tier One' design. It is equipped with yellow Trijicon tritium lamps without white outlines. I use green with white outline on the front. The green is a bit brighter to bring attention to the front sight.....where it belongs!
Eventually I'll get these sights into production, but for now they are only available on my full builds.
The finish is Gun-Kote(matte grey) and Cera-Kote(graphite black) over a base of manganese phosphate.

Very nice. Sights look cool and well thought out.

Well Chuck, perfection again. I dont think there are any other words to describe your builds.

WOW, what a piece of artwork.

Thanks guys!

A sharp eye might notice the slide seated a bit 'proud' of the frame. The pistol was assembled without lubrication for photography purposes. Some FP-10 and a dozen hand cycles later and the rear of the slide is now flush with the frame.

I just now finished up the build sheet. Prolly forgot a few items.
I'd guess this constitutes a 'full-house' build.

what he said.

I'm not sure that "sexy" belongs on a gun that looks that rugged, but in this case I think it's appropriate. I've been waiting a long time to see one of your Tier One guns unveiled, and it was well worth it. As always, phenomenal work, Chuck!

Beautiful as always. This gun reminded me of the "sandbox" gun, another masterpiece.

I never saw and S&A magwell look so good-- I know that was a bit o' work. Nice job brother.

Incredible piece of work...Just georgous.

Chuck,

I'm especially interested in the grinding of the flats to remove factory markings. How many thousandths come off each side? Does the reduction reduce slide weight enough to affect cycling and change recoil spring weights?

Mr. Rogers the work is amazing but why on the springer? cost, availability?

Chuck,

Looking at your work just blows me away. I do a lot of my own smithing on my 1911 and I really admire the dehorn job you do. Please keep up the great work and please continue with the pictures of your fabulous guns.

That entire package is just first rate! Congratulations to whomever is fortunate enough to acquire this gun!

I particularly like the sights and the mag well on the gun!

Sheesh, don't know how I missed this beauty.

Of late I've been especially enamored with Chuck's SA magwell treatments, and this is no exception. Complete beauty in an organic, forward looking style. Thanks for sharing, Chuck!

Chuck,

Ive been drooling over "the grey gun" on your website for some time, I think this one trips my trigger even more. But I gotta ask, whats something like that going to cost me? Provided you actually ever get room on your waiting list of course.

Chuck, this is one of your best. Very demure, clean and ultra functional looking.

Gorgeous!

Wow. Simply beautiful. I LOVE your golfball treatment and that lanyards execution was, as usual, flawless.

Simply beautiful, a true work of art
