I have just completed customizing a Springfield Armory "Range Officer" 1911 in 45 ACP for the SNS Casting 400 USPSA Championship! The match is this weekend and this particular firearm will be raffled off with the proceeds going to help West Lafayette Police Department Sgt. Aron Thompson, who is battling leukemia. Here are a few pictures - the first being a "before and after". A lot of machine work, and even more hand work, was done - all new EGW internals providing a crisp, 2.5 pound trigger, Caspian, Dawson, Smith and Alexander, VZ Grips, and Cylinder and Slide parts as well. The 1911 was finished with the new "Elite" series of Cerakote, which is smooth to the touch with increased durability, done for us by Applied Ballistics.
More pictures of the finished firearm, as well as some build process photographs, can be found on Facebook.
Thank you!
