JohnO, I thank you also for the kind words, it's nice to know ones work is appreciated.
When it comes to customizing 1911 it all depends what the user likes.
One may find they don't need to do anything to their gun but shoot it, but they also may want to personalize it a little.
Here's a couple pictures of a custom 1911 with a little bit different taste then the first one pictured.
It has several custom features that's obivious, one that's kind of unique is the front sight.
The blade is narrower at the top portion then it is at the bottom.
By the way this gun is not painted ( I will not paint a custom gun) this gun is blued.
This gun also has my fabricated small thumb safety.
Best Regards
