| Who have you guys been using for refinishing? I was kind of looking for one place to ship the frame, slide, and stainless parts all together instead of sending parts two different places. |

| What holsters are you guys using with your meusocs? I have a soc rig that I’ll use for range/OC, but want a really nice leather belt holster for everyday carry. Something that does the gun justice. I’m thinking of a milt sparks but wanted to check what you guys liked. I don’t normally carry a 1911 ever but I will when mine is finished. |

Variant 2 is coming along. Attached File |
"I suggest you give the tampons back to your sister and spend some of your cigarette money on trauma dressings."

I’m now wondering if I would rather make a variant 3, with the Springfield slide that has front and rear narrow serrations, but with the old sights, Clark’s, Kings, etc. What slide is that? I’ve been perusing gunbroker and haven’t seen any Springfield slide that has front and rear narrow serrations. Were the serrations factory or put on at PWS? ETA: the only slides I’ve found with that arrangement are stainless slides. |

Also around 2003-2004, a buddy of mine at 2nd Force was looking for a concealable leather holster for his MEU(SOC) right before a deployment, and I gave him my Galco Combat Master. |
