I just thought I would share a little about the progress of my build with David Charyn. Since I last posted about it, we kinda went in a different direction. Instead of two barrels, David suggested two slides. And with that suggestion, we decided to make them two different builds. David said this is a first for him with him doing this with the Marvel method, which to me a great honor. This gun has always been in my mind, the build I would want and therefore the gun I would want my son to have. This build is really a love letter to my only son and David is working to make that into a gorgeous and extremely capable reality.
this first photo is the slide to frame fit as well as seeing how well the ejector fits especially considering the frame has to fit two slides.

the next two photos are ones that David just sent me for the accuracy/function testing at 25/50/100’yards. Looks like this gun will be a shooter for sure

I did send David my two RMR HDs for this build but I kinda drug my feet and they didn’t get to him in time for this function testing. But they are on their way for final finish. This build has been so exciting for me as it will be something that in my opinion exemplifies the very best of what the 2011 has to offer by what is in my opinion one of the most respected smiths in this platform. It has truly been a wonderful experience thus far and I am very excited about the finished product.
