Commander 45 build

[Muzzlestuffer2012]

Started with a Caspian frame and slide that had to be fit then the rest of the parts. I used Ed Brown parts except the barrel I used a Nowlin drop in barrel I normally use a Kart gunsmith fit for my bullseye guns but this is going to be a EDC so I thought I'd give one a try other than the bushing it fit perfect with tight lock up and great lug engagement at .042 thou.
The grip safety took a lot of time to fit correctly and blend.
I did the stippling on the front strap and horizontal checkering on the back of the slide. I also did a nice softening of all the sharp corners.
The Kensight adjustable tritium sights will be here soon then it's off to test fire. I am planning on having the gun matte hard chromed.

Thanks, I really like the way this is coming out, I just finished tweaking the trigger it's 4-1/2 lbs measured with the NRA official weights. I may bring it down after completion but it feels like a 3lb trigger at the moment.
I'm a trigger fanatic after getting into Bullseye shooting I have to have them just right no creep at all and crisp.
Can't wait to shoot it on Monday!!
