This has been the year of the two-tone gun for me... I think I have built more this year than any previous year. Traditionally configured two-tone guns continue to be a classic favorite of mine and I thoroughly enjoy building every one of them.

Image

This gun actually started life as a stainless steel Government Model with the two-tone look being achieved by finishing the slide in DLC. As with every gun I build, the gun is a full-house effort starting with a welded frame and slide fit. From there a stainless steel Wilson Combat barrel, EGW bushing, and EGW slide stop were fit and the slide top was flattened and serrated with a Bo-Mar style adjustable rear sight out back matted up to my custom .110” wide gold line front sight. The slide is also ball-cut at the front and serrated on the rear at 50lpi.

On the frame all lines were straightened and trued and the front strap was hand-checkered at 25lpi. A Wilson Combat Bulletproof mag-well was fit and blended as well as being hand-checkered at 25lpi to match the front strap. The grip safety is an S&A part swinging on a Wilson Combat extended thumb safety. The matte finished frame is topped off with a set of VZ double diamond G10 stocks that I inlayed the Colt medallions into.

Of course there are lots more details that went into the gun but I’ll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy the pics!

Deee-lish!

I'm glad one pic showed the pen "deployed", I was trying to figure out of it was a flare gun, dog whistle, or what!

A blast from the past, but done with such elan that we'd all have been jealous back in the day.
