Did he fill in the cutout in the front strap? I only ask because it looks that way in the photos

No it’s still there.

Do you know what finish/treatment he used for your slide?

Going to the range this afternoon but just wanted to let you know it’s black nitride.

Nice! I'm thinking of sending a Gen 4 or 3 to him eventually and getting the works done but I'm hesitant to do a Gen 5 over the nDLC finish they use which I really like.

I haven’t seen a stock gen 5 finish but the finish he did is nicer than any glock I’ve owned! It really is nice. So I asked about the difference in gen 3 to 4-5after he does the reduction and he stated the 4-5 starts smaller so it ends up smaller which is what I wanted as the gen 3 gun just feels huge in my hand. So it just depends on what you want out of the finished product size wise. I shoot 1911’s the most and wanted to maintain grip angle and circumference as much as I could. YMMV

Very tastefully done.

That would be a cool option if offered.

Congrats! Ben does some awesome work. I've got a gen 4 G34 in his queue, and am very impatiently awaiting it.

As for slide coating, if I'm not mistaken its black nitride.
