Wow! I can't imagine how much the mods added to the cost of that very fine (and expensive) pistol.

How much weight did all that shave, and how light a load will you plan to shoot?

Extremely nice!

She's only 40% done... My gun smith needs to still put in the lightening cuts and the design cue's, I wanted. After that its custom laser engraving. And then I'm having the barrel TiN and the slide Hard Chromed.

But as for the loads... I'll still be shooting my 200gr 40sw loads out thru her... The new barrel is a Schuemann 40sw Hybrid Barrel. And for the weight before she left my hands and on to my gunsmiths... She weight in @ 43.5oz
 
Man that is one sweet 1911. I can't wait to see it all come together.
 
Wow man! I've never seen anything like that!!!

An amazing piece of precision machining!
 
Thanx for the comments guys...

She almost done @ my gunsmiths ... after that shes getting some custom engraving @ sureshotprecision.com and then the slide will get the hard chrome treatment @ techplate.com and the barrel will get TiN coated...

I'm planning on having my JM Pro Bolt TiN plated but I dont know if I should get it lightened first

I zero'ed before shooting the match... Didnt even need to adjust the sight it was dead on already.

The slide feels soo slow compared to my STI Edge ... But the gun shoots flat and straight... Very Happy with how she turned out... I ended up use a 5" Guide Rod and Reverse plug and a 9lbs Sprinco w/ a Dawson Aluma Buff...

Final weight 39.6oz vs Stock 45oz
 
Oh man Rip, that's a sweet lead slinger. It truely is a perfect 10.
 
That's an awesome piece. I enjoyed the video.
