I have posted very little here. Just wondering if any user here remember this Southern Michigan builder known for 10mm 1911’s and others
Just trying to keep his memory alive.

The name doesn't ring a bell, but my wife thinks I suffer from Altzheimer, so there!
I had the pleasure of meeting Brian at his home many, many, years ago. Probably late 80's or early 90's. We discussed 1911s, the 10mm in particular. I was interested in a set of 10s with Gov't, Commander and Officer sized guns. He was, by all reports, one of the 'smiths that understood the 10mm 1911. Needless to say I wish I had pursued the build.
I have a few local friends that also knew Brian, all with very favorable memories. In Michigan the conversation about 1911/10mm often leads to mention of Brian.
I'm really sorry for his loss.

Very cool Jim! Thank You for posting. I spent many times in his basement as I lived 20 miles away. What came out of his mouth was precious for sure.
I have a Full house Delta he did and a Pocket Rocket..... 10mm Caspian Commander slide Officers frame. Perfect
I also have what I believe was his last full house 1911. It’s a .45 built for a guy in Hawaii
Yup miss him............ Great memories

H,
How cool! You are very fortunate, Brian was a quiet force in the community.
The Commander top / Officers bottom is my carry combo, a Super Stinger from Baer, but sure would be great to carry a Bilby 10 in the same configuration. Would never feel under gunned.
