Lots of finish work left to do and possibly change a couple small parts to better serve the end user.

Lionsden Blades has prepared some stocks at my request from ironwood burl. A knife with matching scales will be made as well.

There’s been much scuttlebutt about proper barrel fitting on another forum. Here’s a sample of mine.

Talented man you are. Glad you were able to get that thing welded up. Love those grips.

Thanks, everyone. This took longer than expected but, it was definitely well worth the additional hours I put in to correct a few aspects and the customizing. Due to the compression of the images, the whole pistol looks fuzzy and the edges that have been contoured and softened don't stand out as much as they do in person. This pistol doesn't hurt your hand from sharp edges. All of them have been addressed with a file and AO cloth.

You can see of what I'm saying in this Instagram video

The Blackhammer logo looks pretty sharp!
Test fire it yet?

Thank you and, yes, I did test fire it. Between myself and Furyoffire we put nearly 100rds through it before the finish work. It ran, as expected.
