Wanted one after Dnovo posted pics of his Kings gunworks custom months back. Wasnt sure it would run but thought what the heck, it was worth a try. Bought a SS Caspian slide and receiver. Then started looking for a barrel. Bar sto-nope, Nowlin-nope, Kart- no bulls, finally got ahold of KKM. Kevin advised he had a couple of 355 short chambered 5 inch bulls that were left from some special order. A little turning a little reaming and Jr. made it fit. Wanted as compact a package as possible so we used a paddle hammer I had picked up from George at EGW. We radiused the grip safety and frame horns to .250. Jr. went to the range with a box of Rem 115 grain +p JHP and an old full size mag since the metalforms arent in yet. 0 failures other than no lock back on the last round. Cycles like a singer sewing machine. Fast and smooth. It is in rough form now. I will follow up with some more (and hopefully better) pics once the cosmetics are complete. May take Neds suggestion and grind... I mean modify the grip safety/frame horns for a higher grip.
