Thought I’d posted here already…just went through all 25 pages and don’t see it though, so here’s a few of mine.
My most used (but not my favorite) pistol; G-21 with custom frame work by Damato … almost feels more like a 1911 in the hand vs. a piece of 2x4 lumber now … LOL
Same pistol with suppressor sights installed after having the slide cut and Cerakoted by Glockmeister:
Typically stays in a biometric safe bolted to my side of the bed these days, loaded with 185gr 450SMC hollow points after putting in a much heavier spring. The G21 chamber is fully supported, so the spring and heavier guide rod is the only change needed to safely fire these .45ACP rounds moving at 10mm+P velocities.
I only load those SMC rounds in this mag so I’m reminded to check for the heavy spring!

… and alongside a Sig 1911 I built up for my son:
I found one with a super tight slide to frame fit and spent a weekend lapping it in to where it glides like buttah…. Not as nice as a couple others I have posted below, but after I cleaned up the internals and fitted a Wilson Combat triggrer and main spring I can honestly say it shoots and feels very similar to my friend’s WC despite most of the ‘guts’ still being metal injection molded parts. Great gun for under $1K inversted:
Also replaced all the controls and guide rod/spring in my son‘s and wife’s daily carry pistols, G43 and G42:
Probably would have been cheaper in the long run to just buy a frame and barrel…LOL…pretty much replaced everything over the years, but they shoot nice.
I did start with just a Fire Control Unit on my latest Sig 320 ‘build’…really just assembling parts; love the ease of swapping out parts on the Sig 320 chassis:
My personal EDC is this Staccato-C … bought when they were still known as STI.
…and I know some f9ks aren’t fans, but this thing’s smooth as silk, and more accurate than me by a long shot, super tight groups until I ran it out to 25 yards…and then the groups opening up (and the flyers low and left that I suspect were actually from the lane next to me LOL) were definitely more due to me and my older eyes, and not the gun. This thing’s a tack driver:
that Staccato replaced my Colt new agent as my EDC:
…that has since gone to my brother. It replaced my Colt Defender that still sleeps patiently in the back of the safe waiting for me to put in that new trigger and springs I bought more than a year ago…ironically, it’s my oldest pistol, but the only pic I can find is this one when I bought this holster as a bbq carry:
My most accurate pistol (so far) though is this Nighthawk Custom, GA Precision worked 1911 in .45ACP:
The ‘straight 8’ sights work well for me, especially out past 25 yards:
…and it’s absolutely gorgeous with the petrified mammoth tooth Challis grips:
