NES #67 1911

[Greg Derr]

Got this together for an NES member. Lots of hand fitted parts with a Kart NM .45 barrel. All top shelf parts from barstock steel. Finish is matte blue with matte hard chrome accents.

Beautiful work, as always, Greg!

Really nice! I like the arched mainspring housing since that seems to fit my hand better than the straight version.

NES members had a group buy a few years ago with Caspian making the slide and frame sets for members. Some members built the 1911 themselves. Others had help from their smiths. This one was designed by the owners. I did the machine work. The grips I think are VZ which he bought.

I don't blame you. Reminds me of when I was talking to someone who had just bought a Kreighoff and told me for the first couple weeks after he got it he would just go and open the safe to look at it each morning.
