Default Dave's Metal Works Commander

Dave at Dave's Metal Works finished my Colt Commander, he did a great job on it!
Specs are:
Steel Colt Commander frame with 20 LPI checkering, S&A magwell blended to the frame
Caspian slide with 10-8 rear sight and Tritium front sight
Slight rounding of all the edges
Bar Sto barrel in .45 ACP
Cylinder & Slide hammer and sear set
VZ Operator grips
Cerakote finish in (what else?) Sniper Gray

Dave let me shoot the pistol before he did the final finish so we could get everything working properly before he did the all the blending and coating.I'm really fortunate the have such a great gunsmith only 20 minutes away that listens to what I want and offers great suggestions on a pistol build.
Now it's off to the range to see how well the Cerakote holds up to holster wear.

A terrible looking gun, I'll take it off your hands for $100. LOL.

Really nice looking pistol.

I like the sights and the grips.

Congrats on a fine piece.

Gorgeous! The "Lines" are great. That Smith should be proud of himself.
