I don’t know about you guys but, even though I get the pleasure of handling and shooting these guns on a regular basis, seeing the completed work of a Signature Grade never gets old... but I may just be a bit spoiled.



This is yet another sterling example of Yost Signature Grade perfection. As with all Signature Grade works that leave our shop this Colt Series 70 re-issue got a complete make-over... welded frame and slide fit, Kart barrel with EGW bushing, hand checkered front and rear @40lpi, round-butt modification, flattened and serrated slide top, Heinie rear sight with gold line front, straighten all frame and slide lines, best quality parts throughout, nitre blue pins and screws, hand-made English Walnut stocks, and all the rest.

It’s nice to know that, like quality leather work such as these pictured here from John Ralston @ 5-Shot, a hand built pistol composed of fine wood and polished blue steel will never go out of style... Enjoy the photos...

I don't think it gets any better than that. Great job Ted!

Oh wow......YAWN........really is that all you got Ted? I could take one 1911 class and do that, there is nothing high speed or tactical about that gun.




JUST KIDDING! I'm a big fan of your work and that gun just reminds me why. Simple perfection.

That is one awesome gun. The craftsmanship to do the 40 lpi checkering is astounding! I wish I could take pictures like that.

My first signature grade.. looking forward to seeing it in person!

Congratulations Methias!
That's a fine thoroughbred pony to add to any stable.
Those nitre-coated pins really do offset the grips wonderfuly-- the beading on the unpolished underside to the dustcover looks almost like texturing. It's a breed apart-- no doubt about it.

Nice blue pins and screws.
