Thanks for the comments!

My custom is in progress.

It is being built on a Remsport Commander carbon steel frame, Caspian carbon steel slide, Wilson Combat match SS barrel, and mostly WC and Les Baer internals.

It will be a bobtailed commander (not CCO) sized pistol, with very classic looks. Assuming it turns out well, it will be my daily carry.

Everything is on order and should be coming in shortly. The only thing back ordered is the slide - 6 to 8 weeks

Since it will be built locally with an experienced 1911 smith who lives close to me, I expect it do be finished in the month of January and then it will be sent out to Glenrock Blue for a Royale Blue bluing.

I hope to learn a lot from watching the build, maybe enough to be comfortable doing the next one myself.

Pics will be forthcoming as we start assembly.
