Business End Customs Full Build...

[TKR Reptiles]

I got the call from my FFL I had been waiting for today. My Build from Lou at Business End Customs was in. The first thing I noticed from handling was how tight the fit was, and how well it was finished. I left from my FFL and headed to the range to try this bad boy out. I ran 200 Winchester White Box ball rounds and 6 Winchester PDX1s Hollow Points through it. This gun is so sweet to shoot. It runs so crisp and smooth. I wasn't shooting my best today, but it was okay because this gun can out shoot me for sure. I just ran her really hard to get everything broken in a bit. I will make another trip to the range soon and see what kind of tight groups she can produce.


This is the build list. I am 99% sure this is all correct. Lou, if I am missing something, or you have anything to add about the extra stuff you did to the gun please chime in!!

Here are a few pics of the results of the shooting... A few of these have some random off target shots from a friend shooting as well...










I couldn't be happier with the outcome of this build. This was my first full custom build and I am sorry I waited this long to get one! Lou was a pleasure to deal with. He answered every question I had, kept me update very well, and build one hell of a nice 1911 for me! If anyone is thinking of having a build done, I would highly recommend giving Lou a call. I can assure you that you won't be sorry.


Thanks for the hard work and amazing firearm Lou. I can't wait to start on the next project bro!
