The grips arrived today from Jason and Zane, and they look and feel terrific.
These pics don't do them justice.
Thanks guys, these are the finishing touch to a really wonderful pistol. Also my most heartfelt thanks to Navman who made this process a lot of fun and who built the perfect pistol for me.
I had it out on the range last weekend and shot a couple hundred rounds through it. It's almost broken in and ready to carry. It's feeding both ball and JHP reliably now, and the slide is locking back most of the time. :)
Still a bit tight!
It's been an adventure, and in another week and another couple hundred rounds, I think it will be ready to carry.
It's accurate as anything I've ever shot, and these slim grips make it feel great in my hand and in the holster.
The left hand side has the Navy Boatswains Mate insignia:
