Colt SS by J Griego...
This gun had to set a while as, Duty has kept Jason out of the shop most of the summer. This Colt was started back in the summer, and now she's finally done.

Jason took free reign with everything on this one, and will probably adopt this as his new duty gun.
Pics arn't the best, time was limited, and it had just came back from the range..















Specs...

Colt SSSeries 80

Weld Up and true frame and slide
Kart GS barrel
EGW angle bore, carry bevel bushing
Warner Guide rod and plug

Griego custom rear sight, machined from barstock
XS Big Dot front w/tritium
Ball Cuts
Bevel Bottom of the slide
Flatten and flute top of slide
Square triggergaurd
Flatten and Recess barstock slidestop
EB wide ambi safety
EGW barstock grip safety
Chen Magwell /mainspring housing
Warner trigger w/integral stop
Warner TR sear w/Berryhill Hammer
Barstock Mag realease

The texturing on the frontstrap and mainspring housing, we thought was unique, but may be similar to something Caspian offers. Ballcut Checkering will do for now

All the lines have been trued and internal surfaces stoned to perfection,... this gun is smooth..

The switch from a single safety, to a Department mandated ambi midstream, frustrated him a little, but at least he gets to carry his own gun.
Well done my friend...
