Novak's Colt
I had occasion to visit the shop of Wayne Novak in early October with a friend that wanted new sights for a couple of her pistols. We met Wayne and staff (& the shop dog) and were treated to the grand tour of the shop.
After getting new sights on several guns I asked about 1911 work and Wayne liked the idea so I left my stainless series 70 Government model with them for a few changes.
It got new sights, fiber optic with a big green one in front, red in the rear. New grip safety, hammer & trigger job. Lowered & flared the ejection port. Fitted a new bushing, reliability package. Installed and modified a Smith & Alexander magwell. It also got a very mild dehorn of the sharp edges.
I had previously fitted the trigger myself. Grips are Mil Tac G10.
It feels good in the hand and shoots great.
Wayne posed for a photo with us before we headed back home.
I intentionally didn't go all out on this gun. I had an idea of what I wanted and they delivered 110%
Thanks go out to all the great people at Novak's. Matt did the work on my 1911 and was a pleasure to deal with. They really went above and beyond in helping my friend with getting the sights she wanted on her XD & M&P Pro. (and a big green fiber optic on my SA TRP)
I'm looking forward to another visit with them maybe in the spring of 2015.
