I remember Peter posting that to the stippling FB page. Very cool that it belongs to a fellow Arfcommer! BCT does exquisite work. He’s an innovator. |

I can't imagine how they did what they did to the bottom part of the frame,as far as, smoothing it out to look as good or better than factory. I love that checkered pattern on the frame. That is just a whole lot of wow. Amazing indeed. Any chance of more pics?

I started this project well before Omaha Outdoors announced their 80% G43 frame that takes 365 mags. I'd honestly just suggest waiting on them. It's taken a lot to work out the kinks and I'm still not quite there. It does feed perfectly though, haven't had a single feed related malfunction. |

My personal 45 build. Frame work included a slight reduction and backstrap angle change, recessed borders, double undercut, accelerator cuts, and glove bevels. Had it Cerakoted locally while I waited for the slide to return from Jagerwerks. Attached File |

Your work has always looked very very good, but damn, thats just awesome. Thanks!! I don’t usually go quite as fancy with my personal guns, but I wanted this one to have a little pizzazz. Having it completed, I kinda hate to take it out and get it dirty lol. Just dropped off an FDE G17 frame at the local coater for graphite black Cerakote. The textures areas will remain FDE for a reverse two-tone look. |

| What advice would you give for diy with a dremel at low speeds and going slow? I plan to start on my sirt pistol and the backstraps. I want a beavertail on my 21 and remove the pixar level ass on it. Looking to get the stylo model that has the slowest speed at 5000 rpm. |

Originally Posted By Gdirty5: anyone ever try Zaffiri Precision? They have been having some serious sales lately, wondering if you tried them. I’m running their optics cut ZPS.2 19.4 slide on my carry gun. The RMR cut is pretty low as well, almost as low as the Zevs. Excellent pricing/quality from a previous black friday sale. Also using their billet extractor on my Zev OZ9, which is working better than a Zev or Apex extractor with 0 FTE even with aluminum cased ammo. Very consistent ejection compared to the other extractors. Sends everything 6 ft away. No more weak ejections where the cases basically dribble out an arms length away.

(why would you post questions when everything functions?) Yes, it functions fine. I have not shot it for groups. But I can hit a bean can at 25yds easily, and chase it up and down the berm. |

Attached File So the slide came in, Holosun mounts up perfectly. The tolerances is tight for all the parts which hopefully is a good thing. I’ll shoot some rounds through it within the next couple weeks. |

I chopped to a 19 grip so the wife and I use the same mags. Undercut, grip reduction, and used the pinwheel tip for stipple. Attached File |

I know you made yours, but IIRC, there was discussion once about BCT POSSIBLY selling the mag catch separately. I've never seen anyone actually using the S10 magazines, so no idea if they're working out better than the 15rd mags. |

Just did my 17.3 today. I think I did okay for my 2nd time stippling. Not great, but OK. I undercut the trigger guard a bit and removed the finger grooves as well. Now I'm just waiting for Glockstore to send my slide back from getting the optics cut done and I'll send some rounds, but it already feels MUCH better. Attached File Attached File |
