Very nice!  Looks like a C&S build?   If so, what do they charge to add the beavertail?  I can't find it listed on their site.   NM, I found it

The base gun is an older FN HP that I picked up in a trade. Great gun, I just couldn't shoot it with the factory hammer/tang setup.

It has a new C&S Hammer, sear, safety, slide stop, trigger, and Novak low profile rear and front blank (that was later profiled).

You would think that with all the C&S parts they would have built it ; I did the build myself (with the exception of some touchups to the weld). I used C&S and Heirloom for inspiration on the shaping of the beavertail, which is kinda tricky to get right.
Stipped the top of the slide for anti-glare, then texture stippled the front and backstraps of the frame. Border cuts on the slide, feed ramp re-shape, extractor tuning, carry trigger job, etc.
It shot great (the few times I was able to do it without getting bit), so I decided to not dick with the barrel or slide/frame fit.

I agree.   Don't see too many DIY projects with stippling and a beavertail.  Nicely done

For sure!!!!  That is awesome.  This is the very first old one with internal extractor I've seen upgraded to this extent.  Very very very nice.
