I'd never even heard of timed grip screws before JV said something about it when I posted an early preview pic in the Staff area.

(I mean you know this already, I'm sure, but I can imagine your comments section is about to blow up from folks who don't know anything about the amount of hand labor that goes into a bespoke 1911 catching wind of the price tag. )
Over 100 hours of bench work for this gun.
