I love the blend from the MSH into the magwell. Nice subtle feature.

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
While the work is absolutely gorgeous, I am more impressed that he has good customer service. That is something vey lacking in the industry in my experience.
I think if a gunsmith posted on their website that " I cost twice as much but I return phone calls" would probably more work than they could handle.

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
+1 on that. The communication is great but perhaps the best thing is the relationship you build with Chris. Great guy to work with and just a good guy. The other really cool thing is the ongoing updates you get on the project complete with pics!! On my build I routinely got text messages with questions and pics. Chris is simply GREAT to work with!! Two thumbs up!!

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
Very nice. Better than Brown, Wilson or Baer? Better than a Dan Wesson Valor? Or just another custom? Nothing wrong with that. The more players the better!

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
Since none of the others you mention are customs, yes, this one is better! There is a difference between a full house custom and a production semi-custom gun. Dont get me wrong, I have Wilson's and Brown's, and love them, but this is simply in a different class from those guns.

This Chris guy does not make his own frames and slides.

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
I second what EasyRhino72 stated, the Ed Brown, Les Baer, Wilson Combat pistols of the world are nice and shoot wonderfully, but my full house custom is mine through and through.
I chose what went into it and with Chris' skill and expertise I received an awesome and completely unique pistol that you cant go to the local gunshop and buy.

My 1911 looks like a old wet horse...I love it dearly, but I am absolutely am in awe of the craftsmanship of those pistols Chris! You are one fine artist, and since I assume they shoot as well a they look...one fine craftsman as well...
very nice.

Maybe the old wet horse needs a makeover?

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
I have a very nice shooting Rock Island Armory 1911-A1 that I was very proud of... till I saw that gun. It literally took my breath away for a minute. Absolutely gorgeous. The more I look around this forum and see all these pieces of art guns and hear how well they shoot, the more I realize that a factory gun will never do it for me.
Very nice gun. Looks like I know what I'm getting as soon as I get all the kit for the GAP-10.
The wife is gonna kill me with it too.

Re: 1911 pics inside.......Caution
You guys need to realize there needs to be more guys like Chris around. Not everybody can pick up a file or stone and say I is a gunsmith. It takes paitantce, hard work and skill to get to chris's level. Wilson and Brown won't be around forever.
Stop belittling his work, it only makes you look like an ass.
