I've had a few semi customs and bought a Derr built Colt National Match from a friend, but I had been putting off buying a base and sending it off for a long time. I finally did it. Bought a new S70 from another friend and sent it to Garthwaite.
Jim was fantastic the whole way. He turned out exactly what I wanted and more.
Now I've got the fever and I'm thinking of another base and a smith. One problem...selling my organs to pay for another.
Anyway...

nice pistol. I really like the "simple" custom pistols with good execution like that one.

As for selling organs to finance custom builds; Ned only charges for one, a kidney or a lobe of your liver.

But, you have to refrain from drinking while you wait, to get the full value of the trade-in. :lol:
