BARBECUE GUNS

Here is a pair of fancy 1911’s. Both pistols have color case hardened frames and clear lacquer coating.  This is one of the few operations that I have to sub-contract and send out. Color case hardening was performed by Classic Guns LTD.

The Commander sized 1911 is a Wilson Combat Professional, with limited work performed by myself.

Rear sight was replaced with Richard Heinie Low-Mount and the sight has my relief cut and front serrations, for one hand manipulation. Front sight has a 10k gold insert.  The top strap, of the slide, was machine serrated 40 LPI.  The slide and small parts are finished with a custom mixed color of KG Gun Kote.  Springs were replaced, barrel throat and feed ramp were polished, and the pistol underwent a thorough inspection.

Full sized, Government length, STI Duty One, is owned by my former Supervisor. It too exhibits a Classic Guns LTD, color case hardened frame, but received, far more, extensive work!!!

Pistol was originally configured as a .40 S&W.  A second 357 Sig barrel was fitted.  Due to the extreme ballistic variations, between those calibers, an adjustable rear sight was fitted.  This is one, of only a few pistols, that has ever left my shop with an adjustable rear sight!!

  • .355 caliber STI barrel blank was chambered to .357 Sig and fitted
