How it currently sits with the 5" barrel and slide. Well actually back in pieces now. All that is left to install is the plunger tube, waiting on the staking tool.
Been able to run all of the safety checks and currently all pass, has taken fitting/adjusting bit by bit.
Now I'm thinking through what little things i want to do to make it mine; dehorn, flattened & coutersink slide stop pin, bead blast/polishing, checkering, and anything else that might come to mind.
There are some parts I'm already thinking about changing out, or at least using different ones on the next build. Fun so far looking forward to test firing and final fit&finish.
Did a quick polish on one side the short slide to see, boy do finger prints show easy
