$5600 is an awful lot of money !!! Especially when your only going to own TWO firearms. If I had $5600 in disosable funds to purchase firearms, I'd likely purchase 3 H&K's, varying caliber USP's, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and maybe the Sig .357 cal and a decent SA 1911 that I do not already own.

On the other hand, I'm currently using the frame and slide of my SA Mil-Spec as a "Custom" project. Currently the pistol will have match grade trigger pars, flaired mag well, combat hammer, full length steel guide rod, etc, etc, etc, So far, without mentioning the brand names of parts, I'm up to about $1200 without any finishing. I will most likely use waffled grips in coyote tan with a satin blued finish and added checkering to the mainspring housing and the front strap. Add in some Novak combat sights, and I will finish this project for under $2000. It may not be the culmination of a Larry Vickers Tactical, but it will be my own baby !! For what it's worth.
