So after I had this pistol tweaked last summer by a different gunsmith, I shot it quite a bit during the fall to wring out any further problems, and get it broken in. The last match I shot with it, I placed 16th of 85 shooters and won my class in my division. I gave the pistol to the same 'smith that tweaked it previously for final prep before getting it hard-chromed. That was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The guy's CNC mill broke down, and he didn't get it fixed until New Year's, and finally got the pistol done and off to chrome (Tripp Research in Texas). I just got it back this morning, and will be shooting it tomorrow.
I had him add front serrations and mill the previous gunsmith's name off the slide, round the corners of the thumb safeties, blend the ejector and extractor, and remove the tooling marks from the components and bead-blast and prep it for chrome.
I don't have a blade by Mr. Harsey to grace this heater, so the Benchmade will have to suffice.
