I have an idea for a project I just want to see what has already been done, and if it is mechanically feasible.
Thanks,

The firs one is my C&S Adventurer. The second was done by and belongs to Alex Nossar. The third is a Behlert. The link is one by C.T. Brian.

My guess is because he just prepped the weapon for its finish and didnt want fingerprints on it.

Tim,
How much more can you take off the bottom of the grip frame?

I'm thinking that's about it. It's already shorter than an OM (uses the short Detonics mags).

BTW, the owner of this piece recently told me that there is a possibility that it might be going up for sale this spring or summer.

Here is my .45 ACP Adventurer that Bill built for me several years ago on a OM. It has been back several times for upgrades to include stipplings the front strap, MSH, installing a tapered beavertail grip safety, gold bead and french boarder. It shoots like a laser as Oz can testify to.

Image

Below is the first 9mm Adventure that Bill built from a Caspain Titanium frame. This one had all the options: hand checkered front strap, Ambi safety, beavertail, Hi Power relief on the slide along with other features. I wrote this one up for Harris. Bill sold this one and a twin in .45 ACP to a customer who wanted the .45 for him and the 9mm for his wife! The couple that shoots together stays together!

Image

Enjoy,

Rob

Hi Keith,

I got pics for you but don't know how to post them on here. Shoot me an email at finchc5@aol.com and I will send them to you.

Paul
