My new carry gun finally arrived

[AllenM]

Nice... you need to change the name of that shop to Diamond Collision and Gunsmithing

If only.

That 10 does leave a lasting impression doesn't it ?

Very much so..... Soooooo...... is it mine???

 

[AllenM]

Nope that one is mine

I did take this out and shoot it Friday. I thought I might get lucky and not have to do much more but no such luck.

So far I spent 4 hours getting a rough assembly together. Between last night and this morning I have spent another 7- 8 hours on this for a total of 12 hours.

I should have my "real" grips by Tuesday but I expect this to be 99.9% done on the next range trip.

I did a bunch more fitting and some polishing and paint and here it is.

Blending the Bobtail:

Thumb Safety Before

Thumb Safety after

Extended Slide release and Safety got the same shave down

Painting controls

Baking Slide and frame

I will be at the range later today

That is nice. Thanks for the pics!

Just got back from the range. The 357 Sig setup is flawless. I had a issue with the 40 not sliding 100% into the chamber. More polish or strong recoil spring I guess. Both barrels were dead accurate though.

Okay...that's pretty impressive. Now I want one in .357SIG!

Is that frame stainless or steel? If it's stainless, would polishing it give it enough 'finish' to look good (I am just partial to stainless pistols!) If I could get one in .357SIG, and make it look that good...I would get one!

It's a steel Frame. But Fusion does have stainless frames as well

sweet gun, are the fusion kits made of machine or forged parts?

 

[EXLINE]

What size barrel is that?

Very nice looking piece thanks for sharing.

Well, now you have to take me out to MCFG. It's impossible for me to just "see" this beast, it must be shot!

 

[sweddle]

Pretty cool. I didn't realize they sold them to you in a kit for you to assemble. Thanks for sharing!

 

[climber409]

Wating for finished pics!

Bob (Fusion) will do it any way you like. I loved dealing with him. You want him to build it, he'll do a superb job. Want a kit to put together yourself, no problem. Two cals? Sure. Want a commander slide/barrel in one cal and a longslide in another, ok.

 

[ultraspec]

Ive seen your handy work before on a gun. you do good work....

 

[jcharrison05]

Im really liking the fusion build. Great job. Thanks for sharing this one.
