So the initial payment went out on my first custom 1911 today. I have been speaking to my buddy Joe Chambers for what seems like a month now on exactly what I wanted out of my pistol, how I wanted it to look, and what caliber I wanted. After many conversations (all lasting around 2-3 hours) we have it nailed down I did not know this at the time but, Joe had already built a gun for NSSF which nearly matched my exact wants... So, I placed my order for the NSSF "Fighting Mans Gun" with Joe! I got it chambered in 38 Super Comp with a 9mm barrel and spring set.
I have a long, long wait ahead of me... and a few payments to send out to him but, here is an idea of what the pistol will look like! These are actually pics of his NSSF build... mine will be in 38, no rear sight dovetail (he has a way of dropping on the sights vs dovetailing them), Pinstripper rear cocking serrations, and the bottom of the slide will be have a small radius to it. Other than that, all the same features! I have seen some targets of Joes pistols chambered in 38 that shoot sub 1" 10 shot groups at 50 yards. Pretty damn impressive if I say so myself!
Here are a bunch of pics... I would love to hear feedback on it/thoughts on my first crazy money pistol!
