I finished my stainless steel 1911 project built on a 80% frame that I completed on a benchtop mini-mill. Most of the parts are Wilson, with a few odd balls such as the grips and trigger. I did all the custom work (checkered front strap, tang cuts for the bevertail, relief cuts, fitting the slide, etc). The flats are brushed and the rounds are bead blasted. I am pretty happy with it, although I may want to grind off that extended slide stop. Let me know what you think.

Looks very good.
I like the frontstrap checkering. Grips are kinda blah though. Some smooth, dark colored exotic hardwood would look cool |

I think you did great.
I agree about the grips - maybe something more exotic would really set it off. Of course, it could just be the flash that make the grips not look so good. |

That's pretty nice work. Congrats. You should post this in the Build It Yourself forum, as well.

Nice job! I like that sterile, no-name look.

Have something engraved on the left side of the slide like, "Can you hear me now?"
