I've been a member of MDS for about 1-1/2 years. I've enjoyed reading the myriad of forums and found a lot of useful information! I've been shooting handguns since the mid-sixties.
I am retired as a Weapons Engineer from the U.S. Dept. of Defense. I spent a lot of time at the Beretta plant in Ackokeek, in the development and refining and fielding of the P-9.
Now that I have the time, I've started a gunsmithing business which specializes in the Customization and Repair of Colt 1911s and clones. I am affiliated with Continental Arms, Freestate, Horst & McCann, and The Gun Shop. If you are interested in either customizing or repairing your 1911, please ask for my business card and pamphlet at any of these locations. I do not believe in tying up anyone's pistol for more than a couple of weeks. Accordingly, I will not take in a lot of work. My Avatar is a custom 1911 6" Longslide with Slide Lightening Cuts that I recently built for a customer. It has a Fusion Forged Frame & Slide, a hand-fitted Kart Barrel, Cylinder & Slide ignition parts, Caspian Trik Trigger, Yukon Ceramic Kote Titanium Grey Finish w/ small parts in Graphite Black. Send me your Email address if you'd like to see some various views of it in larger pics.
Regards to you all!
