These take a lot of work. This Colt had the staked on front sight so first a dovetail was cut then the sight fit and shaped. We didn't want to get into the slide finish which made it even harder. Matt did and excellent job with this.
After the dovetail is cut this is what you get
Then just alot of hand blending
in blue
