I am not sure if this pistol is considered a custom but it is to me. The hand gun started life as a Series 80 45acp; my friend had a 9mm upper installed and some work done on it. Unfortunately, it would not work on a regular basis. I purchased it, took it to Marianne Carniak, and she worked part of her magic on it. I then called Alex Hamilton and he finished making this a jewel. Yes, before you ask, Virgil Tripp did do the slide. Regards, Richard :D

I would say anything from either of those two smiths would be considered a custom, and you got to have BOTH of them work on it!

Nice Blaster.

Great looking pistol! Who made the grips, Nill or Roco?

Great looking pistol. The grips look like Hakan's grips.

Thanks for the compliments. The grips are Nill grips. Lastly, I forgot to mention this pistol has an Ed Brown barrel. Regards, Richard :D
