Pistolsmithing Classes
Name: ______________________________________________________________
Slide options:
Frame options:
Barrel, Kart, Match Grade (simply the best)
Rear sight (your choice):…………………………………………………..
Front sight: I use an MGW front sight blank. The blank is machined to the proper height for your pistol at 25 yards, profiled, and pinned to the slide.
Hammer:
Trigger, Greider Precision
Main spring housing (includes S&A mag guide if requested)
Pin set: I'm now using a hardened steel pin set provided by EGW on all my pistols.
Grip safety: McCormick and Brown give the highest grip. On many pistols, McCormick gives the best fit. Springfield pistols will require a weld-up of the frame tangs to get a proper fit with these grip safeties.
Grips: Whatever your choice, I need these in hand before your gun is finished so they can be fit. If you want an ambi-safety, I prefer the right side grip not to be relieved for the ambi paddle. I cut these to the proper depth myself to keep pressure off the tenon joint.
Grip screws & bushings:
Extractor: Wilson preferred, and they are generally in spec. A spare is always a good idea.
Thumb safety: I've tried them all, and now use Ed Brown Wide exclusively.
Mag catch:
Slide stop:
Recoil spring plug:
Reliability/Carry Package
Dehorning: Two levels are available:

____Standard dehorn (sharp edges are minimized, but to outward appearances the pistol looks stock.)
I offer an in-house polymer over mil-spec Parkerized finish that I have total control over. I have also found a source for hard chrome and another for traditional blue who have done good work for me, so far. There is no other finish on the market offered by anyone, at any place, no matter what they advertise, that does work to my standards. After correcting mistakes made by finishers and then having to re-ship guns back to them, over and over again, my new policy follows:
If the finish you want is not offered in-house, or isn't basic hard chrome or blue, I will be happy to ship your pistol back to you in the white, and you can then send it on to the finisher of your choice.
Finish choice:
____Polymer over Parkerizing (black)
____Hard chrome
____Hot blue
____Matte bead blast, standard on stainless pistols
____Other
