My gunsmith is about done with my next custom Springfield 1911 so I'm deciding on a finish. I'm leaning toward hardchrome for this one, but would like some opinions.
Here she was before (next to my stainless SA before either was done):
Better pics will follow on completion, but here she is now "in the white" (bare steel):
Custom bevel all surfaces, French boarder, ball cuts, high grip cut, 25lpi hand checker front strap and msh, weld-on and blended magwell, round butt, Kart barrel, comp bushing, deep dish crown barrel
Here's the serrated flat top and gold bead front site:
Better view of the magwell:
Still to be done:
New thumb safeties, 10-8 rear site, slide stop cut and bevel, STI composite trigger, C&S ignition components, set trigger to 2lbs, metal finish
This isn't going to be a daily carry gun, just for range use and competition. So after seeing the direction this build is going, what finish would you choose? Oh, and no two tones since my other SA is already two tone.
