PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Is that yours? If so you are one lucky dog

Commander slide/officer frame on a Springfield? With a semi-bobtail mainspring housing. That would make a great CCW piece.

Man, I wish it was, but no - a little too rich for my blood at the moment. I just never get tired of looking at John's work.
I was talking to him the other day about other stuff and he mentioned this post on LTW so I had to check it out.
Geeeeeeze Louise......what a beauty............

Those are a great set of pistols he has up for sale. I was on the phone with him looking at them and if I had not gone way over board in the last few weeks I would have bought it or the bobbed Springer. I have to learn to start saying no. His work is stunning and he is a true gentleman to do business with. I cant wait to see his art on "my" canvas......... still a few months away

So you are making a free plug for John now?? And I have been trying to get him to place a banner in our site. With these things you do, he doesn't have to.

the guy's work definitely looks top notch. in details with him now for two identically configured peerless package guns; i can see two or three more projects going his way if i keep seeing great pics like these. would be my first full builds - not a bad way to return from two consecutive years in the box.

Welcome to the forums, groundbranch, and as my esteemed friend d90 says.....thanks so much for your service.

John Harrison has worked on several guns for me; if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do for you let me know.

Groundbranch, Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know you have all that Combat pay sitiing in a bank just waiting for a pistol to spend it on? I remember thumbing through a Colt catologue during my 1990-1991 sandbox adventure.

Hey, stay safe and get home soon.
