I received a call from Bill Laughridge at Cylinder & Slide that my pistol was about ready to ship. I'm just waiting for the final invoice so I can send the payment (a boatload of cash) and it will ship. I might have it the week of 1/23 but business commitments may require a week or two delay. Mine is in the first batch completed, gun #3.
This has been a long time coming, I think I placed my order in December of 2010. Bill has been really great about sending periodic status updates of the trials and tribulations of building an accurate reproduction of the original 1911 design. He's been just a bit persnickety about the quality, fit, finish and historic accuracy of the pistol.
I will post photos when I can. Probably during the first week of February.

BTW, I do plan to shoot it, occasionally.
