    Hello All,
    John just completed a full custom 1911 in 38 Super for me.The craftsmanship is beyond excellent as all of Johns work is.The customer service part of the build was outstanding,several sit down meetings,before any work began, to discuss options and recommendations,and several meetings during the course of the build to discuss progress and various options at that point.It is nice to talk to the person doing the actual job at hand and getting real feedback,as opposed to " check off the boxes,send me a check,and I will get back to you in six months" as most services are carried out today.Great Job,Thanks again.

    We're illiterate. Pretend any post about a firearm is a playboy magazine and that all we care about are the pics :)

    Sight-in Target

    Very nice...great work.

    Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    How does she shoot?

    Thank you for your kind words.

    The sight-in target for this pistol is shown below:

    Target (1) was the initial starting shot.

    Target (2) was 2 clicks down and 2 clicks to the right (124 gr RNXTP).
    Next 3 Shots.

    Target (3) was no further sight adjustment (R-P JHP). Next 3 shots.

    I do not have a Ransom rest and my vision is limited to the 25 ft range.
