With ARFCOM being almost the largest forum for gun lovers, I am sure many of you have custom handguns in your collection. From small improvements to full on super customs. Lets get a thread started to share your custom handguns.
EDIT: As one of the posters pointed out, please also share, who did the work or from where you got it and what custom work or mods were done to it. I'll start with one, not mine but loving it at the moment. From the guy at Gledhill Customs.  Attached File |

Can we also say what has been done to it and who did the work?
Here is one of mine. Magnaport custom S&W M25-2 .45 ACP. It was stock when I bought it 30 years ago. Owner said he did a trigger job. He butchered it. The hammer would push off with your thumb when cocked. I gave it to Magnaport and they did all.the work. 6.5" barrel cut to 4" and ported Egg shell blue job Magnaport action job Numbered chambers Beveled chambers Polished and narrowed target trigger Polished target hammer Rounded cylinder latch The grips are an old set of Herrett's that I widdled down for my small hands.

Some people will say this isn't a custom gun but whatever it's the best i can do. What's different from a standard WC CQB Elite: Front night sight, Fluted chamber, Round butt magwell, Ball endmill cuts on slide, Flush cut reverse crown muzzle, I also had them put the trigger as close to 3.5# as possible. Paint scheme is personal to what you want but i did have to specify i wanted my barrel bushing in black as well.

I made the first one 13 years ago and have carried one almost continuously since. |

Back in the early 90’s I had him do some work on one of my colts when I was shooting USPSA. He was living in Spokane at the time and a few of the guys in our club recommended him, I was living in Montana and drove it over and met with him. |

I doubt it had been shot after it came back from him. |

Ordered for competition shooting or range/fun use?Competition. I already had some Limited guns but I wanted one of the new steel frame models. I dropped by the shop/factory when I was in Grand Prairie and Brandon showed me the different grip styles they had. I'm glad I could handle them in person, because one or two were a lot sharper than I'd want. |

How about custom grips
 Model 681 with extensive mods  Model 581 with similar treatment  And finally a Hi Power that I added a beavertail and stippling to. Also some C&S parts. Gunsmith installed the Heinies.  |

Sent it in and I think they had the pistol for months, maybe a year before they could work on it. Believe me, if the real estate market hadn’t fallen through the floor on 07 I’d still have it. |
