Jason and I have been scrambling to get everything done for SHOT, and we finally got to the point where we think we'll actually make it! :shock:

We didn't have time for a Bailey photo spread, so Jason snapped a couple of shots of this year's pairs. Jason's pair is built on consecutively numbered Springfield Governments. I helped with various aspects of the project, mainly the case, but I can say these photos don't do the guns justice. They're nothing short of incredible, with detail to spare. Fit, finish, and function by a future master!

My pair consists of a consecutive pair of stainless Colts, cased with matching tools. Jason says I need to supply tools so the owner can fix his own gun if it breaks. Something about me being so slow :roll:

We hope to see a bunch of youse guys at SHOT this year! Our booth is number 1295, and tickets will be available for #3!

Jason's case is on the left - it's shaped like a book, and has a brass title plaque he's having engraved with the book's title..."Twenty Paces"

It doesn't get any better than that. What a magnificent foursome. Breathtaking in every regard.

My hat is off to the both of you, congratulations on raising the bar once again.

I think I'm going to have to give Jason a call and get a spot on his build list. Just hope Ted hasn't been teaching him all his naughty pranks too :shock:

Are any of the YoBo guys fast? I only ask because I'm planning a smash and grab and would like to know how far I'll get. :shock:

When I'm asked why I like the guns done by Ted Yost, or Yost-Bonitz, I say it's because of the details. Well, there are some details for you.
I know we can't see all of the details in the guns, but rest assured, they are addressed.
Beautiful.

I used to try to keep a list in my head of the ten or so nicest guns I've seen on here. I can't keep up anymore. When they come at me four at a time, there's just nothing I can do.

My wife is days away from being unemployed due to a contractor change at her hospital. Since she is the breadwinner and I am the child care provider, I should be thinking of other things, BUT I'm naurally thinking about how I'm perhaps freed up to go to SHOT!
Just what I need.

So, so classy!

On Jason's guns the magwells are flared forward at the bottom, are they not?

A dark and interesting choice for the title of the "book". That adds quite a bit to the conversational value!

And I don't get to go to SHOT this year :evil:

Jason & Ted - there just isn't anything you can say about those - words just wouldn't do them justice!

Gentleman, you continue to impress and inspire. The LTW booth will undoubtedly, again be – the place to be - at SHOT.
:)

The grips on the stainless are to DIE for!

What kind of wood is that?
I wish I could go to the SHOT show.. Ill even be passing through Orlando on Saturday. I wish I could stop by and grope these beauties until they file restraining orders on me.. :lol:

Ted and Jason,

Both sets are absolutely stunning. The execution of every little detail is outstanding. You guys have quite a bit of creative genius and talent going on out there in AZ. Thanks for sharing, and have a great SHOT Show.

Absolutely beautiful...

When I tell people about YoBo giving my Kimber Series 1 Classic Stainless a 1* treatment, they smile and say "That sounds nice." When I hand them Dulcinea they are usually rendered speechless for several moments which is as it should be when beauty, form and function combine. :D

Absolutely beautiful...

I'm posting from the SHOT Show right now (Magpul booth), and I met Mr. Harrison's wife today. I can't wait to go back tomorrow and introduce myself to the gang, and buy a couple more LTW tickets. :) See you tomorrow, gentlemen.
