Gallery of work by Miller Custom Part IIRock River Frame, Caspian Slide, Esmeralda Grips, and a lot of polish Parts include Cylinder and Slide Hammer, Sear, and Disconnector, Kart Barrel/Bushing, 10-8 Rear Sight, SDM Gold Bead Front Sight and Grieder Trigger. The Grip Safety, Thumb Safety, and Mag Catch are all Ed Brown. The pistol has 25 LPI Checkering on the front and back, 40 LPI Serrations on the top and back of the slide. Price for a pistol similar to this would be around $2,600. I especially like this picture where the camera focused on the reflection instead of the pistol.
This is my contribution to the Single Stack Classic held in Barry, IL This started out as a Springfield Gunsmith Kit, donated sights from Heinie Specialty (though I used my own sight blank for the Fiber Optic), and a donated barrel from Bar-Sto. It sports my "Racing Stripe" Arrow Point flat topping and serrations, flutes on the slide, Checkered at 25 LPI front and back, Berryhill Custom ignition components, EGW busing with the monogram SSC (Single Stack Classic) engraved, Ball Cuts, Lowered and Flared ejection port with live round extraction cut, S&A Grip Safety, Grieder Trigger, Finger Relief Cut under the trigger guard, Serrations on the rear of the slide at 50LPI, Staggered Borders, Ed Brown Tactical Thumb Safe and Mag Catch. Finish is Melonite expertly applied by my friend, Drake O. at Drake's Gun Works. 9mm Bobtail Caspian frame and slide This started out as a brand new frame and slide for a 9mm build. It sports Hard Chrome, thin grips, slide serration in a round top format, fluting, Novak style rear sight, Fiber Optic front sight, and all quality bar stock parts. The ejection port has been lowered and flared with a live round ejection cut. Kart barrel and bushing, Ball Cuts, and a finger relief at the top of the frontstrap under the trigger guard. Custom Commander .45 on a Rock River Frame This build is on a Rock River Arms frame and a Caspian slide. It sports a Kart Barrel and bushing, 30 LPI Checkering, Heinie rear sight, Tritium inserts front and rear, and a 30 LPI checkered Chen Mainspring housing. It has Ed Brown thumb safety, grip safety, and mag catch. Cylinder and Slide ignition components and a Grieder trigger. The slide was treated with standard flat topping and serrations with flutes on both sides. The Grips are from non other than Esmeralda, which I think adds a nice touch to the High Polished Blue finish. Forgive me for the quality of the pictures, the camera wanted to focus on the reflection in the finish, not the pistol itself. This is my contribution to the 2008 Indiana Section and State Champoinship After a conversation with a gentleman by the name of J. Martens regarding the Single Stack Classic build shown above, I offered to build a prize gun for this match. He talked to many people about donating parts such as STI, Caspian, Nowlin, Schuemann, Dawson Precision, and many others to donate the parts for a complete pistol to which I would build the gun. I received a bunch of packages along with one from Caspian Arms that not only had the slide for the build but a frame as well. This was strange because I had a 2011 kit already started. Rather than send the frame back to a company that graciously donated, I offered to build 2 guns for the match. Here is what I came up with. I hope to have more photos soon. One pistol will be awarded to a shooter and the other raffled off for the Jr's program. Both are chambered for 40 S&W. A Nighthawk and Springfield for a few parts, options, and finish A gentleman sent in a Night Hawk Custom pistol for a few options such as Ball Cuts, Bevel on the Bottom of the Slide, Standard Borders, and finished in Melonite. The Springfield has Ball Cuts, all Hard Chromed Parts Replaced with actual Stainless Steel Parts, Rear Slide Serrations, Weld and Recut the Grip Tangs for Fitting of an Ed Brown Beavertail, New Trigger, and Brush Polish Flats with Matte Rounds. Enjoy.
