So I picked up an NM prefix Springfield Loaded.
It's going to be a bit of a project gun, I have the following planned:
-Round butt or bob-tail still undecided
-Sight change, 10-8 or ???
-Carry bevel, very light, just knocking off the sharp edges
-Thumb safety blend lever upon install
-Blend slide to frame at rear
-Blend GS fit
-Harrison short trigger
-Blend contours of slide stop
Will have to farm out the refinish, plan on CeraKote

The hump on the main spring housing feel good? It looks kinda sharp, like it would dig the hand, or make more for printing.:dunno:

The arc across the back of it looks a bit odd to me, but the blending is real nice! If it feels good in your hand, then it's lookin sharp.



That an H&K?

The part that would print is gone.How could a bobtail print more? :dunno:
The whole reason for bobtailing a 1911 is to make it more concealable.

This,........thanks Randy. :supergrin:

Just to add,.....it's not as sharp as it looks, and it contacts the palm
of the hand at the crease of the heel. Very comfortable, very concealable.

Thanks I have been working out!

The "round butt" job was something I wanted to try. And I knew if I
screwed that up, I could do the bobtail. I am happy with the end result.

Well,.......my Springfield Loaded hack job is complete.
Joe Chambers took it over the top with a flush cut slide stop,
removed the front cocking serrations with a carry cut, ball cut,
matching stipple & serration cuts on front strap & mainspring housing,
custom hammer, Chambers short, flat trigger, & finished in matte blue.

Joe is an amazingly talented PistolSmith.
