He said the package returned from Walter Birdsong and ready for me to come by and pick it up.
I bought this used Colt Lightweight Commander from a guy on The Highroad.org. It was in decent shape but like all factory Colts, it was sharp and not very friendly to my hand. I put half a box through just to see if it ran, it ran all right, also took some skins off my hand. Satisfied with its functioning, I took it to John Harrison to let him defang it and made it ready for carry.
John did the following (from my memory, not from the work order form):
Dehorned entire pistol
Bevel magazine well
Trigger job (4.5 lb) with short solid trigger and new sear
Wilson beavertail
Brown thumb safety
Yo-Bo Retro rear sight
SDM front sight that John installed his own gold bead
Serrated flat MSH and round butted
Match bushing installed using original Colt barrel
Reliability package
King's round commander hammer
Black T finish by Birdsong
This will make a good carry gun.
