My son Sean and I went over to Navman's house last night for some bullsh***ing, gun talk, scotch sipping and to take a look at my pistol.

Damn it looks good. Really starting to take shape. The only part we're waiting on is the thumb safety, but it looks like we'll go ahead with something we have in hand as the one we specified is still back ordered.

Otherwise, Navman is working on the action, and reliability next.

We also were thinking about whether bluing was the right choice, or perhaps IonBond Diamond Black. We took a look at an ion bonded slide and it really looks good. ion binding is also quite a bit more durable than bluing.

So I'm thinking about that and will be talking to the ionbond people today.

Overall, I'm really happy with the progress.

The scotch was tasty, too!
