Dave Erickson at Condition One Pistolsmithing did an outstanding job of upgrading my old Kimber Classic Custom. I picked it used and while the insides were fine it looked like this:

It came back looking like this:

While in the shop Dave replaced the factory adjustable sights with a set of Heine's, performed a crisp 3.25# trigger job using EGW parts, replaced the factory safety with an Ed Brown extended model, fitted an EGW FPS, and fitted and blended a S&A magwell to replace the existing plastic MSH. After all of the work was done, Dave refinished the pistol in a two tone cerakote.

I am a very happy customer! Dave is a delight to work with. He goes above and beyond to keep his customer informed and up to date on each step of the process. The highest compliment I could pay him was to book another project before this one was completed.

Thanks for an excellent Job Dave!

Dave is a good guy to do business with. I've never had him work over a pistol for me but I did make a purchase from him and he is top notch! Sometime in the future I would like to have him do some pistol work for me as well.

This one did turn out really nice, but wait 'til you see what's coming off Dave's bench next...

Keep watching, it's coming soon!
