So I have been planning/building this pistol since February. . . .glad to see it finally come together
Here's the build sheet, as I remember it anyway, left the physical sheet at the office.
-Fusion Firearms Slab side commander frame
-Caspian Commander slide, flat top
-Fusion Match Ramped barrel
-Novak Gold bead Front sight
-10-8 Rear sight
-Nighthawk 1 piece FLGR
-Nighthawk Plunger tube
-Caspian Trik Trigger
-Caspian Single thumb safety
-EGW Beveled Bushing
-EGW Firing pin
-EGW HD Extractor
-Cylinder & Slide Hammer
-Cyl & Slide Disconnector
-Cyl & Slide Sear
-Cyl & Slide & Wolff Springs
-STI SS Grip Safety
-Smith & Alexander SS MSH/Well
-VZ Grips and screws
-EGW Extended Ejector
-EGW Firing pin stop
-Wilson Bullet Proof Slide stop
-Nowlin SS Bushings
-EGW Long Hammer strut
-Ed Brown Ext Mag catch (wanted to try the 10-8 but it was out of stock)
Gun runs great with Wilson and springfield mags, have a colt and mecgar to try also will likely just stick with the Wilson's though
Short list of what I did,
Contour front sight slightly, contour rear sight heavily. Make rear of slide and rear sight same plane checker 50 LPI, checker flat top 50 LPI ALA S&W Mod 27. Point up machine checkering on MSH and frame. Bevel mag well to fit flush with frame bevel. Round squared trigger guard. Polish and blue frame and slide. 45 degree chamfer on bottom edge of slide. Also all the blending, fitting, polishing needed to make it 'right'. . . . .I am sure there are some things I neglected to mention. . . .
Now for the gratuitous photo op . . . . Sorry for the crap pictures the good camera went down last week
