Calling my 2011 complete (pic heavy)

That thing turned out awesome! Really digging the finish and those grips. Great job on it!

Thanks! The black Nitride is proving to be pretty tough already, way better than cerakote.

Damn that's nice, thanks for sharing OP!!

Thanks!

Excellent job OP. She looks good, sexy, but means business for action pistol. What weight recoil spring and main spring are you using for loads just above 125 PF?

The recoil spring is from 1911springs.com and pretty sure I have the 8lb spring in and the mainspring is a Wolff and I think it is a 17lb in right now.
The trigger, which I need to test again, is probably about 3-3.5lbs right now, which I am OK with for 3-gun where a superlight trigger is not necessarily the thing you want, and my preference right now is consistent and clean, the same very time, over superlight.

Thanks for the kind words!

Pics are great and certainly help. Thank you very much.

I also just realized what was bugging me (nothing to do with finish). Not lowered and not flared ejection port. What slide is that?

It is a Fusion that I had them cut for me with the front and rear serrations and Bomar/Novak sight cuts. They actually really helped me out as they did not have one in stock and cut it for me over a weekend so I could have it in time to put the pistol together. I did not ask for them to lower or flare the ejection port as it was for a 9mm and I usually only flare 45 1911 slides. No ejections issues yet, so far so good
