Make your ultimate handgun.

[leelaw]

Lets open our minds for a moment. If I were a designer of handguns my ultimate handgun would have:

Semi-auto CHECK
Glock reliablity (no arguement here) CHECK (100% reliable thus far)
1911 grip angle CHECK
1911 trigger pull (single action) CHECK
Glock trigger reset Negative - 1911 reset is better.
Standard barrel rifling that shoots lead CHECK
5" compensated barrel Hmm.. It could have been made with 5" compensated.. This one's a 3.5" compensated.
.45 ACP CHECK
Double stack 15+ rounds (I have large hands) Build it on a 2011 frame
Target sights with Tritium inserts Combat sight with tritium insert
All carbon steel construction Carbon frame with stainless. Slide available in carbon.
Blued finish done by Les Baer (beautiful!!) Bah, blued.. Tennifer (Melonite) FTW
1911 single sided extended style saftey CHECK
70 series (Grip saftey, no firing pin saftey) CHECK
No rail CHECK

Man, this is really close.

There's a ton of stuff like that already out there. You just aren't buying the right gun.

I've never seen a Les Baer with a nice finish.

Picking up my Mark23 today... slap a LAM on it and that would be golden for me.

Browning High Power in .45ACP. But lose the mag disconnect.

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

Springfield Custom.

You can't duplicate 1911 A1 ergonomics with a double-stack.

I will have to commend leelaw's taste in smithing and finishing his custom Caspian. That is also my choice for an ultimate HD gun. A custom 1911 is hard to beat.

defying physics. i'd like a sig P228 that could eat a steady diet of 357SIG.... that's basically a P229 but i like the weight and balance of the P228.
