Good looking Colt Doc! Is that Ion Bond or something else?

[John]

Great looking pistol. Congrats!

[doc540]

Thanks...it's all Cerakote

[doc540]

I'm having a shoulder rig made for it with a vertical bikini holster instead of horizontal like the Galco.
Should fit both the Commander and the Officers.

They're saying 6 weeks out.

I'll guess we'll see.

Looks really good Doc. Did you paint those crimson Trace grips or did they come that way?

[AOCM.RET]

Very nice Doc, I really like those CT grips. Have fun at the range!


Be safe

thnx

I'm such a tightwad I kept looking for a deal on CT grips. The Officers grips are more expensive than any others it seems.

Found them used and got a deal, so I guess I'll have to live with the flames. :o

Sweet! Very nice pistol, Doc.

[Red Mike]

Gorgeous GUN!

Who is the smith?

[Landman]

Very nice Doc. I like that holster too. I've never seen that style before.

Very nice Doc. I like that holster too. I've never seen that style before.

We'll see how it turns out.

I just don't like the horizontal, "sweep-everyone-behind-you" style.

Ed Karns, fellow Texan.

[Landman]

I just don't like the horizontal, "sweep-everyone-behind-you" style.

I agree with you on that. I have a Galco shoulder holster for a Government Model that the pistol hangs vertically. Nice holster but the Government Model is a little long to hang that way (at least on me). Your pistol with the shorter barrel should hang nicely.

Looks really good Doc.

This is it...best shooting carry piece I've yet to own, the one I've been looking for all this time.

Put 200 rnds downrange with it this morning, and it's a tack driver and feels totally natural in my hands.

Lightweight alloy frame makes it easy to carry.

:appld:

[tekarra]

Very, very nice doc; I think there is a lot of wishful thinking and planning going on here.

[Red Mike]

Ed Karns, fellow Texan.
Cool Thanks! What city is he in? That's a great looking pistol, and appears to function even better. I'd love to get his contact info. Glad she's shooting so well for ya!

[doc540]

I got lucky and bought it used but with a Bar-Sto match grade barrel fitted to it.

I didn't think a Commander length gun could shoot this well.

Great looking pistol. I love the CCO size.

They're saying 6 weeks out....Nice looking holster too. Who's making it?

Thanks for the holster information.

They seem to be pretty good people and on top of their game.

They were willing to make any type of mod I suggested for no extra charge...like double snapping the mag pouches to secure both full size and Officers mags.

Guess we'll see in a month or so.

[Justin]

Doc,

I tried to locate Ed Karns and am unable to find a website or phone number for him.
