The FedEx man dropped it off this morning and it is beautiful.

Some of the thing that were done, bevel the bottom edge of the slide, remove the roll marks from both sides of the slide, bevel the mag release hole and slide stop pin hole, mill flat and serrate @ 40lpi the top of the slide, serrate the rear of the slide, snakeskin treatment on frontstrap, ball cuts on the front of the slide, fit EGW beveled bushing and flush cut and recrown barrel at 11 degrees, XS 24/7 night sights
and matt hard chrome everything except sides of slide. Trigger breaks like a glass rod at 3.5 pounds.
All internals and controls replaced with Wolf springs, EGW, 10-8, Ed Brown & Wilson Combat parts. The holster is a Matt Del Fatti.

The work was preformed by Rob & Crew @ ACW (ALCHEMY CUSTOM WEAPONRY)
Frontstrap Snakeskin treatment and top of slide milling & serrations were done by Neil Keller
I did the Bobtail.

The trigger is the E trigger by EGW, also happens to be my middle initial. :D

I have no problem with the E but I'm just not sure how I feel about the more flat design on the front, after some more shooting I will decide if it stays or goes.

OK, that is cool.....never seen one like that!! I was not really sure if that was an "E" or a design of some sort that they have. Pretty neat that it is you middle initial also!!!:)

Very, Very Nice! that is a tasteful yet feature packed gun and I really like the elegance of it... EGW is only about an hour or so from my house, I wonder if they take visitors? Seriously though, that is a beauty, nice work!
