I just watched that video about 10 minutes ago, what a magnificent 1911.
Karl @KGB has some beautiful firearms come through his shop and gives an in-depth report of each. I enjoy his perspective as a gunsmith during the discussion.
Was finally able to sit down and watch that video and man what a beautiful piece indeed. When I was watching Clint Smith videos a few years back I feel like I saw he had a similar pistol that was done by Jason Burton. This one above by Yost is what I would order if I ever had a custom 1911 built.
I truly wish I had the patience to wait for a Yost masterpiece along with a wallet fat enough to justify such a purchase. I think Ted Yost’s work is some of if not the most spectacular work out there.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
