Colt Custom Delta Elite build Piper Custom
 

Just picked this up from Piper Custom. He did this Colt Custom Build for me. The grips are my "Starry Night" grips, although I'm sure that's not what Sarge from The Finer Grain calls them. I've been trying various grips to see what I like best.

I don't have my photo setup any more so these are just iPhone pictures after greasing it up for the range. I hope to take it out for a spin soon.

Very nice ! :cool:

Very nice, but sadly my wallet just jumped out of my pocket and ran away real fast.. or the wife hid it lol, I like the first excuse better.

My wallet was traumatized for sure, but not all at once, over the course of about a year and a half, first the base gun, then the parts, then the work. It's still cowering in the corner though.

Super nice Colt! That looks great bro, can't wait for the range report.

Damn that is beautiful!!! That is a super nice piece. Very jealous brother

Beautiful pistol.

Sweet 10mm Dennis. I'm curious about the series 80 conversion. I thought most people go the other way and convert to series 70? Did you add in the firing pin safety block?

Nice looking pistola. Tack driver?
