My latest project.....some frame safety Beretta inside

Beautiful, you have the eye of an artist. Now will you shoot it?

Damn, this really makes me wish I kept my Centennial. That came out absolutely gorgeous.

I have another HP that's going to be sent out for work very soon. I think I now know how it's going to be finished...

Great looking piece, enjoy it!

Thanks! I have a second one that's original save a trigger job from Josh at AAGW. For as much as Beretta asked for these guns, they did nothing to make the triggers nice...perhaps because they didn't expect people to shoot them.

Maybe I'm weird, but in this particular case, I actually like the billboard. That gun is just beautiful.

Too pretty to shoot! Maybe...

Amazing piece of work. The grips really make the pistol complete.

Thanks. I had discussed what to do with the slide given the laser micro-engraving in the PVD finish and decided to leave it be, for now. I did swap another frame safety upper on just to see how it looked and it didn't look as good.

I grabbed one when prices fell through the floor and even at that price point, I thought the same thing.

Polished with a deep bluing would play off the frame quite nicely although it wouldn't present much of a difference compared to the current look.
