Default Saved this guy from a cardboard box!

Found this bouncing around a friends shop. Was a project someone left behind, and never finished. Got ahold of them got the pistol for a fancy show tune, and then had to make the painful choice to refinish it since it had been sand blasted already.

So I present to you my new to me, barely shot DW RZ45 Heritage

Graphite Black Cerakote slide, frame, MSH, and spring cap,
Stainless Steel Cerakote, on the small parts
Raw Stainless Trigger, Hammer, and Barrel

Took about 3 hours to get the slide to even move on the gun. The extra 4mil of finish really bound it up, so that should attest to anyone how tight these guns are built.

Also front strap checkered at 20LPI by Clark Custom Guns. I have to admit when I asked for them to make it aggressive I didn't expect to get a gun back with a face full of needles, but holy wow...super aggressive. I spent a lil time and knocked the tips down a bit, and now its juuuust right. Thats what you get when you ask for a TRP aggressive front strap I guess.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
