Beautiful piece man.
Pretty sure your gunsmith is incorrect. Hard chroming doesn't cause hydrogen embrittlement.
Ani't just a pretty thing? And, with his pistols, beauty wasn't merely skin deep.
I have stripped a Jim Clark conversion of a Colt 1911 (in .45) that was originally done in '55. Shot so much that it had to be set back to Jim in '77 for a rebuild. On the rebuild he fitted a new...
Man, have you got a welder! That dude's an artist, treat him right.

Huh. Now I never meant it that way. In the old days in machining, nice work meant that it was excellent, very precisely done with excellent craftsmanship.
Besides, how could one criticize such...
You do nice work.
Very nice work man. I hate cutting those front sight dovetails! I've never broken one of those tiny little cutters, not yet any way, but it's not for lack of sweating!

I would have felt quite comforted and comfortable. Nice pairing.

"Occasionally, a particularly good gun finds you. The challenge then is to hang onto it long enough to appreciate what you’ve actually stumbled upon." Now THAT is sig line material par excellence.

"I'm Very pleased with this pistol."
I would think so. :)
