    Here is a few photos of my Mars Axiom. I love this pistol. I have about 1,000 rounds through it without a problem.

    After:



    The looks are great, but I think the best part is the reliablity and the fact I know I can depend on it if I need it.

    MARS THUG - Colt Government Model Series 70

    I could not be happier with the work Steve did for me.






    After a few trips to the range, a few IPSC matches, and about a thousand rounds since November, I had one malfunction attributed to a faulty magazine. The THUG is not picky about ammo. Rangers, Gold Dots, Winchester WB HP and FMJ, cheap Magtechs, down to my own reloads, all perform without any complications. In terms of accuracy, I can not say enough, other than it most definitely outshoots my abilities. Fit and finish are admirably executed, and exactly as specified. His attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of function and appearance. In short, Steve's work instills confidence in function, and a pride of ownership.

    As mentioned before, I could not be happier. Well, one more from Steve couldn't hurt.

    This is my 01919 Axiom Steve built for me. Unfortunately I only had it in my hands for two weeks before it had to go back to Steve. It has yet to return, but rest assured Steve is on the case and his follow up service has been very good and I have 100% confidence that my issue will be resolved. I will reserve comment on the issue, until it is resolved. That being said, I love the way the gun feels, and fits in my hand. The MARS golf ball treatment and gold bead front sight are my favorite aspects of the build.

    Thanks Grunt! Steve's no-nonsense approach regarding his 1911 work is a big part about what led me to him. My original goal was function over form but in the end when my pistol got here, I realized I ended up with a nice combo of both.

    Dos, I too have no doubt your Axiom will be fine no matter the concern. Like you've said, Steve's on it and I know he takes these things very seriously. Hope she gets here soon!

    Yes, you are right. Stuff happens, what matters is how it is delt with. Thus far, Steve has been very good and is keeping me updated as his busy schedule allows. I am cursed when it comes to 1911's no matter the cost or quality. Can't wait to have my girl back so I can abuse her .
