Full-House Springfield Gov’t Model...

[Jason Burton]

This is a gun I recently finished for a very patient LEO in the northern part of the country. His specifics for this new duty gun were pretty simple... he wanted a full-house piece that featured checkering front and rear, a light rail, PG sights, and hard chrome... and the rest was more or less up to me.

He had a pretty good foundation for what he wanted in the gun but gave me a good bit of leeway and discretion to add what I felt the gun needed or to choose the parts I thought would best serve his purpose. So in addition to his requests the gun got the full work over with a frame and slide fit, Nowlin stainless steel barrel, Ed Brown thumb safety, beveled mag-well, S&A grip safety, Nowlin mag-catch, as well as the usual host of other functional modifications one will find on a full-house ride. Cosmetics also being a big part of any full-house conversion this gun got a flattened and serrated slide top, bordered slide, rear slide serrations, and any other detailing as needed.

It’s cool to see that hard chrome is still a viable finish option for some and it’s always a pleasure to complete a gun such as this one and know that it’s going to get used on a day-to-day basis. There’s not much more that thrills me than knowing that someone is going to spend some time trying to wear a piece out... a full-house gun that’s seen some holster miles is generally a pretty good piece of eye candy for me. I’ll be glad to have this one serving its new owner well for some time to come. Enjoy the pictures! :)

I like how the slide STOP has the serrations on the correct surface.

Please continue to post pics here! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed seeing your pistols!

The lines on the top of the slide are a very nice touch. It looks almost to good to shoot. Excellent work. David

That is the first aftermarket light rail that does not look like crap. What is it?
