This lil guy came to the shop as most do.. a stock combat commander with a need for love. The list of operations performed is too long to list, so I'll just post some pictures instead :)

Enjoy!

Matt,
I'd be proud to call that work my own.
Nuff said.

Nice detail, Matt.

The high cut under the guard flows very nicely. The magwell fit, the slide bottom bevel, the ball cuts.....all speak volumes.

Be proud.

Very cool! The overall balance is what makes a custom worth the time and effort to get it done.

Very nice! I like the frontstrap/guard cut. If it had only been described to me, I doubt I would have liked it, but it looks great.

If I am not mistaken Matt was the smith at Tripp that built my caspian 9MM this time last year. Keep up the nice work Matt.

That is beautiful handiwork.

I am sure that it shoots as great as it looks.
