After I got a call from Dave W. at the Springfield Custom Shop where I was told my name came up a few times in conversation on smiths to build a prize gun for the Single Stack Classic, I followed up a phone call to Richard Heinie about doing a build. This is what I came up with.

It sports a Springfield gunsmith kit pistol with all the parts set aside and replaced with parts like an S&A grip safe, EGW slide stop, Barsto barrel (donated by Barsto), Heinie sights (donated by Heinie), Grieder trigger, Berryhill ignition componants, Nowlin pin set, 25 LPI checkering with a finger relief, and of course - a flawless application of Melonite from Drakes Gun Works.

Oh, and can I get an Amen on VZ Grips??

Enjoy...

Not bad, someone will be happy. I like the melonite finish but I’m not much for the treatment on the slide flats but that seems to be your thing. Should be a good match and I look forward to seeing all the prize guns.

As I recall the guns from the previous years have been really amazing particularly the pistol Ted Yost build a few years back.

Nice Job Bob. I really like everything you did..........except the borders. Just not my thing, but then you know how picky I am with 1911's.

Bob,
I was really impressed with your machine work on this one. I like the ball cuts on the slide. The winner should be very happy with it. Nice job.

NICE ! Great work all the way around, there is lots to admire with this pistol. Someone will walk away from the SSC very lucky indeed.

Dave, I usually skulk away from the SSC......

Looks real nice, Bob. I think there's gonna be a nice crop of prize guns this year. I hope they put them out on display during the match, which I have not seen them do much of in the past.
