As soon as my .357 project is finished i am going to build a bobtail. I cannot finish any of them until i finish these next 4 1911's i am working on now and i have to sell my beater truck. I am headed to daytona this weekend to visit family and do some shooting. I am almost done with my polish/dehorn/blending on my CCW. Once that is finished I think I am going to get it duracoated something strange. The CCW will be pushed aside for the new 357. And then the bobtail project starts. What size frame are you going to use? I have seen all kinds of mismatched frames and slides work for custom bobtails. I love the chain link but everyone i have called is ridiculously expensive. CRAZY EXPENSIVE. Anywho..Keep us posted.
