Intro: This might be the first one I might regret letting go, but after moving into the new house, there are so many things I want to get down around here, and this one is the only gun I do not shoot. The roundcount is approximately 300 rounds mostly of .38spcl and a little of .357magnum. I have had this gun for approximately 10 months, and it has been to the range 3 times I believe. It has been carried even less, during the hot summer days when the 1911 is too much. It sits in the safe housed in the Leather OWB Delfatti shark trimmed holster.
Build Details:
-Hybra Port ™ Porting (™ Weigand Combat)
-Red Dragon Grips by Ed Strange of Wicked Grips
-Complete Action Tuning (9lb DA trigger, smooooooth)
-Crown Barrel
-Gold Bead front sight
-Chamfer Cylinder Throats and Moonclips
-Recontour & Polish Trigger
-"Bob" Hammer
-Dehorn for Carry
-Eliminate Cylinder Endshake
-Replace all Springs
-Polish all Plungers and Pins
-Black-T Finish
-Slab Side Barrel
-Skeletonize Trigger Guard
-All housed in a shark trimmed, cow hide Mat DelFatti OWB Holster
Condition: I'd rate this approx 95%. There are three spots that show normal wear from loading/unloading. These spots are concentrated to the grips and the cylinder that are illustrated in the pictures below. The gun still looks top notch and everything has smoothed out nicely.

As you can, with up close pictures the handling spots are minimal.
Price: All said and down this came down to $1700ish, considering is in very good condition, $1500 shipped to your FFL. Consider the entire package and no wait for a very busy top 5 gunsmith, IMHO right now. I'll take USPS MO, personal check (will wait to it clears though), or Paypal plus their fee.
This includes the holster ($180), a bag of moon clips, and a moon clip unloader tool (tool itself is approximately $60 from Gemini), and 2 pocket speed reloaders
Questions: Please do not hesitate to ask, plenty of references on the boards if you would like also
