With the beta testing of the Warner TR sears over, I have looked at the BHP with a new eye. One of the things I wanted to do was come up with a new Frontstrap treatment when checkering was not an option. Stippling is fine, but I wanted something new...........with a highcut
Your opinions are welcome...... CW |

I have stippling on my BHP and if I had a choice I would take your solution in a heartbeat.
Great work! The biggest flaw in the BHP in my hands, though, is the lack of a beavertail. The cost of getting one installed is a stumbling block for me, but it sure would improve the handling of the pistol in my opinion. |

I have an aggressively stippled 1911, soft stippling on a BHP, and a 25 lpi checkered 1911. Of these I prefer the aggressive stippling. It really anchors the pistol. My preference aside, I think the folks at VZ grips have shown us that many shooters want something that sticks in their hand.
(isn't that supposed to be '245' at the beginning of the S/N?) |

Yes. Next time I will just photoshop the whole numbe out. Every thread I posted this on , someone has to complete the number. I left part of it there for Illustrative puposes. I have always photoshopped the numbers out as much as possible, as do most other professionals.
I appreciate the help

Yes. I have developed a True Radius sear that greatly improves the ability to get a good trigger job.. This is probably the most informative hammer sear thread on the net.... http://www.1911pro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=277 CW |

You could try the Kydex one for cheap before you buy the custom work. |

I read it in Mr. Camp's book and contacted the maker to ask some questions. I thought about buying one and stipling the kydex with a wood burner so I wouldn't have to keep replacing my grip tape. If you buy it take pictures and let me know how it goes.  |

I don't know how they expect to seel that with no pictures? |

Bradd...I didn't know about that rail either. Guess there's that and the C&S option now. Sweet.

Quoted: Nice work, but I would choose stippling over this. The stippling looks better to me and I think it would provide a better grip. Same here. But I'm sure other customers will like it. I'm just a function over form person. It's a nice look for people who want nice looking things. |
I would agree....lol
