Really, no guess'....
Alright then. I use silver solder to add just a few thousandths under the blade, then mill or file to fit. The cold blue in the following pics is to see how much (if any) of the silver solder remains, the goal being as little visible as possible (especially if the gun is to be blued like this one, blueing doesn't like silver solder). Not sure how clear it is in the pics, but there is no visible solder to affect the blueing. The blend job is almost complete. What appears to be a slight gap between the frame rails and the bottom of the slide is actually just a minute bevel on the back edge of the slide rails. The rear sight is a 10-8 U notch and the front is an SDM Gold Bead, now fit with zero gap under either. The rear of the slide has been blended with the frame, extractor and ejector, still needs to be finished...enjoy. No, that is not the thumb safety that will end up on the build, waiting for a NOVAK (if not I have an EGW that will get reprofiled.)

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!

That Glenmorangie is what Glenfiddich copied the bottle I brought over from, I think. Couldn't find the Glenmorangie when I was shopping for a sipping bottle for us. You didn't drink it all already, did you? I think Sean and I need to come over after Christmas to check out the progress on the pistol  Hate to let it go for two months, but pretty soon it goes to get ion bonded.
