Just some random pics from the shop while working on this CCO

I've got a little more to do then test fire and the slide goes to @Bertram the Engraver for his part .

Thanks for looking ,

So awesome looking

I need to blend but I'll put a few rounds through first .

Lots of features on that one for sure. I'm thinking there is some real "food for thought" on my part.
Thanks for the progress pics.

I’ll take it! LoL
Wishful thinking. Beautiful in every way

 

[TheCustom1911]

that will be a very enjoyable gun to carry!

I really like what you did with that rear sight. It may be silly, but there’s nothing more annoying to me than seeing a fully custom gun that’s assembled with a ton of parts that are very easily identifiable. Making a rear sight of your own design (or modifying) is a bit deal to me. Fantastic profiling, beautiful shadow box. Very well done!

Hot! I’m really digging that tapered French border treatment.

This is so cool and thank you so much for sharing.

Cool smithing. Lots of details. What Grip safety is that? What rear sight did you modify and do you sell the rear sight? Nice blaster to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Les Baer - with mods .

I don't recall who's rear sight that particular one was - I just start milling with a 3/8 or 1/4 end mill and come up with something that looks good to me , I usually get rid of all the badging if there is any and go for a kinda belt hook look . I sell them on my builds , but no 2 are the same .

Thanks

This is really something special, it's nice to see a new smith with courage. I love the French Border treatment, the round butt on a short officers frame, the aggressive bevels', hi-power cuts, bob-nose and rear sight. Whoever this is for is going to stand mighty tall and be mighty proud.

CT Brian has made a career on doing things untraditional, to say I like this would be an understatement

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement !
But to be honest and transparent the only new about me is the great people I've come in contact with on this board !
IDK about the courage thing -but in principle and practice there's really nothing new under the sun . 😁😁

Thanks for looking ,

First time I’ve ever seen a “French” Border like that. French is the wrong word here. So creative and I see Kirk’s artistry. This should spark people to “borrow” this idea.

im new so tell me if that’s been around.
I can’t wait to see the finished product!!

 

[Nalajr]

Lord that’s beautiful!

I’ve wanted a CCO for the longest time.
Are you interested in adopting a son??

More pics please!!!
