Hey Fellows,
I've recently had a gun returned from our fine friends in Arizona.
This gun started life as a fairly good limited production peice, but I thought that getting a few things done to it would be nice.
Technically, this gun started as a "Two Tone, Ed Brown Class A Limited Bobtail Commander with Nightsights".  Quite the mouthful.

I sent it down for some minor stuff, but Ted fixed this one up good!
Here is what was done:

    Flatten and serrate top of slide to a point.
    Serrate rear of slide to match sight.
    Replace sights with Heinie Slant-Pro Straight Eights.
    Bevel front sight to match slide.
    Cut the front strap high and smoothe.
    Recut 30LPI front strap checkering (factory looked like crap).
    Checker MSH to match front (these come bald from EB).
    Ramp and throat work.
    Refinish.


I'd also swear that he did something with the trigger.  While it was nice before I sent it to him, it's is absolutely exceptional now.  I was shocked to see that it still broke at about 3 pounds, as it feels lighter.

Overall, this guns is fantastic.  No complaints, and the work just looks extraordinary.  I'm considering making this my daily packing gun, especially for warm weather.
Here are some pictures.  If you'd like to see a bunch of Hi-Res pictures, please click HERE

That's amazing. Good photos too, wish my gun photos turned out that good.

I've seen more of those cut down frames, is that called a bobtail? I guess it would make for a better profile for carry, but do you like it as much from an appearance standpoint?

Very cool shootin' iron. If you don't mind my asking, what was the turnaround time on the pistol work?

That's a lot of work to put down on a $2,800 pistol.
