This triad weighs in at a total of 79.5 oz., Officers size lower, lightweight of course, Commander length upper. My humble rendition of the ultimate in concealed carry.

WOW. That is impressive. Not going to fill this with the usual platitudes. But that is more than very, very nice. Someone more fortunate than me will possess them soon and hope they are put to gun use. Whoops, good use.

Having been fortunate to have this little retail operation of mine I have been very fortunate to see work of this caliber (no pun intented) in the metal. The work from these craftsman is more impressive to hold and see close up. Work from these guys represents the craftsman behind the piece. When you see the incredible fine detail, the perfect balance in the hand, the crisp clean action, oiled glass slide to frame fit and imagine the work that goes into the metal to turn it into what you see. Now you know why I enjoy what I do so much in my humble retail operation and in this case multiply by three.

Like I said someone more fortunate than me will soon possess these.

Tim, great job is an understatement.

Doing custom 1911's in batches of one allows a certain latitude for little inconsistencies. Doing three alike, and showing them together, puts a whole 'nother level of difficulty on the 'smith...... Tim, as I look at the pics I keep thinking, God the consistency! Awesome guns pal.

Never too hot for golf in AZ, especially after you've earned a couple of days off! Top drawer stuff, my friend.

Thanks much for the compliments. A builder always likes to hear what people think.

Nope, no # 12. The reason is that these weren't 'consecutives'. They were simply the next three in the order line and I decided to give a go at doing them all together. Carrots is correct - they reside in three separate holsters, with three separate owners but all in Texas. :wink:

His Nedliness was dead on - I've done several matching pairs, but doing 3 matching was definitely a test. It's doable, but ads a touch of stress to the process. This project was a warmup. Coming later this year, I'll be doing a set of 5 full house matching Government models with consecutive serial numbers for a gent... :shock: That project will definitely add a few more grey hairs!
