that looks great. I like the borders on the stippled front strap. I generally don't care for stippled steel, as it tends to look sloppy, with no defined edges. But the way you bordered it makes it look very neat, controlled, and classy.

Thanks guys. I started putting borders on the stippling several years ago for the very reasons Ben stated..

Very nice pistol, sir.

I agree with Templar. The phrase that keeps coming to mind when I see your handiwork is "understated elegance".

Thanks for posting the photos, I always look forward to seeing your work. :)
