Here is a set that you don't get to see very often - three of a kind. When the owner and I began discussing his project - customizing a set of three consecutively numbered NRM Government models - we considered building them as a matched set of three, as well as other things. The idea of a matched set didn't speak to us the way a matched pair would have. The gears kept turning and we finally decided that a "Trio Singing in Harmony" (to think of it in a pretty corny musical manner
) would work better. So the plan developed to customize all three identically, but use different finishes on each - blue, hard chrome and two tone.
The pistols all had welded and remachined slide to frame fits, Kart barrels, H-D bushings and spring plugs, Original Heinie sights with white dot fronts, 30 line serrations on top of the slides and 40 line on the rear. The beavertails are King's with a re-cut radius, original Colt thumb safeties and Caspian large ring hammers. The front straps were checkered at 30 lpi by Pete Single, the mag wells beveled and the butts rounded. The work was finished off with the usual cool touches like Carry Bevel, extended, checkered mag catches and indexed grip screws. The customer supplied bordered, double-diamond checkered grips by Esmerelda.
