Good eye, Jason. Good eye. Although modified quite a bit, it did indeed start life as a Wilson Bulletproof.

Now, if only Theo and I could get you interested in using that 'good eye' on something worthwhile..... like golf. :mrgreen:

Gman & HaveBlue, let's just say it can take you from zero to felony in a VERY few seconds. :wink:

Thanks for the kind remarks, fellas.

Outstanding CT!

Every time I blast and polish a pistol, I always think, man I hope this turns out somewhere near as good CT's! :D

Awesome work, Tim! Lotsa good stuff happening, and impossible to single out any one detail. Everything just flows together so well...

Mr. Brian,

That is chock full of goodness only a skilled craftsman can produce. Test target, perfect attention to detail, stunning work, and options that are definitive of a C. T. Brian build. Very well done!

Your website says blending art with firepower - indeed, and I doubt anyone will be able to find the seam!

Kudos!

Bob

I agree completely. This gun possesses the distinctive styling that is yours and yours alone.

And what’s even more, and ultimately so respectable about you and your guns, is that you Mr. Brian seem to have been the originator of the options and styling cues that are signatures of your guns. In today’s market it seems very easy for a ‘smith to simply copy another’s work or style and call it his own but that is never the case with a CT Brian gun (nor with any of the LTW ‘smiths)... your guns are originals through and through. :D

Yet another fine example of why we happily wait on a five+ year line for one of your builds.
Just awesome!

Nice stuff as usual, Tim. Great detail, and the wood's not half bad either :wink:

I suppose the old saying "Drive it like you stole it" applies to both gun and car...
