This build is on a well-used 1976 vintage Colt. I do a few suppressor host pistols from time to time, but this is the first two-tone host I've been asked to do. A special thanks to Chuck Rogers for supplying his Tier One rear sight in a "tall" variant for me. This pistol is also a bit of a first for me in another aspect. I welded the magwell and slide/frame fit myself. I can't hold anyone else responsible for the outcome of those areas any longer - the success (or failure) is all mine. An IonBonded slide, hard chromed frame, and F-22 Raptor carbon fiber stocks finish it off.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures - I was in a hurry to get them snapped, and then off to FedEx to send it home. My photos normally have a fair amount of fingerprints, smudges, and lint. These have all that, and a few stray snow flakes for good measure.

What's going on with the mag release? Is it just the pic angle or has something special been done to it?
