This is a Caspian titanium frame for an NES member with all stainless parts, no finish. The barel is a Kart NM with an EGW stainless thick flange bushing. The sights are XS small tritium up front and a 10-8 U notch in the rear. Cap made the custom carbon fiber grips square bottom to match an Ed Brown magwell. The beavertail is an EB Memory Groove. All the stainless parts were polished bright. The slide was polished just under mirror finish.







 
That sure is purdy.

I would not want to shoot it outside on a sunny day though. [laugh]

Whoever that gun belongs to here, sure is lucky.
 
Show off.


I am happy if I don't make too big of an idiot scratch when I field strip my SIG 1911.

But that sure is a nice looking piece. Any range results?
 
Very Sharp, I love it * * * one of the first things I always do when I buy something cool is personalize it.

Greg as always you pics are awesome and compliment your gun work to boot....almost to good I think I see a spot of dust on the front sight![wink]

Yes, as said above, very nice piece. I was just on their site looking at what I can do to my e-series Damascus slide. It's calling my name. You have to personalize your good ones as it sets them apart from the rest off the shelf. Good for you.

I'm a dick, but I'm a constructive one.
 
Caspian is a great vendor. After I fit the slide to the frame and lap everything together they carbonize the rails on the titanium to prevent galling. DIY guys can't get an unfit set any longer I believe without the carbonized rails. each client picks the finish they want which is the whole idea behind a custom build. If you look at the "Yard Sale" gun that is a very high polish on the slide. The higher the polish the easier they are to scratch.
