I own 98.
Picked up my RIA 10mm 1911 parts from my Cerakote guy yesterday. The colors are Sniper Grey for the frame, beavertail, and main spring housing. Graphite black for everything else. I bought this gun a few years ago just before RIA switched to the small logo on the slide, so mine had the huge billboard, which was the main impetus for doing the Cerakote. I used a surface plate and some sandpaper to sand the sides of the slide smooth and remove the billboard, it was probably laser engraved, it was very shallow. Parts include Caspian Flat Trigger Ed Brown Thumb Safety Ed Brown Chainlink II Mainspring Housing EGW Flat Firing Pin Stop 22lb Recoil Spring Merpolight Night Sights Magpul MOE Grips I cut the barrel down close to flush with the slide and gave it a 30º crown. I blended in the grip safety and MSH a little better. And I gave the slide and frame a very light dehorn on the edges.

Commander that I did in coyote AlumahydeII years ago. Had a gunsmith do the sights. Bought a Surefire adapter and had a buddy mill it short enough to put on my commander frame. |

So Baercote doesn't hold up very well to be dropped on a granite counter top then falling into the floor.
 Oh, and I put on new grips too...

Having Dan Wesson build me a pistol to my specs. I have a specialist and love it. When I questioned them about doing a "custom" they assured me it would be built 100 percent in their custom shop and with much better fit and finish than their production guns (which I think the production guns are incredible). I'm super excited for it and they sent me a quick pic of it disassembled before being sent out for duty treatment.
Here's some of the things I had asked for I feel like I'm forgetting some. °Threaded, ramped match barrel/and unthreaded barrel °Flat faced trigger °Discretion sights °Flat spring plug (non checkered) °Black Cherry VZ grips °Thick bushing °Tight fit frame/slide °1 piece magwell (blend) °Melonite entire pistol inside/outside °Blacken hammer °Blacken trigger (cerakoted 10-8 flat faced trigger) °All tool steel internals °Slide stop countersunk and flattened °Ribbed top of slide °Rail cut flush with ball cuts °3.5-4lbs trigger pull Keith over at DW has been very accommodating and helpful. Can't speak highly enough about this process with them. Initially I was going to contact Wilson or NH to have a pistol built but I figured why not send DW an email. They assured me a pistol built in their custom shop would not be similar to the production specialists/valors (which I think are fantastic pistols). That started the ball rolling and so far I have zero regrets. |

This one is slowly but surely nudging it's way between me and the Les Baer SRP that was trying to grow to my hand.
