Karl Sokol Custom Browning Hi-Power

[DrkBlue]

Cool. What are you asking him to do?

$750 Package + the custom safety build up on a much carried but little shot aluminum frame.

Karl seemed positive on the project even though it was aluminum. I went with the painted coating as there was a fair amount of deep wear on the dust cover. I believe they were motorcycle carried guns, as there was some shiny coming through from holster wear but almost pristine elsewhere on the frame.

For those who hadn’t shot the aluminum frames, they are surprisingly snappy. It does feel different on the belt.

Nice! I bet it'll be a nice gun once finished.

Don Williams has done a couple builds on those and I've often wondered about picking one up as a builder. My idea would be to use something like my Sokol as a "trainer" and the aluminum gun as a "carry."

Got the much anticipated "your gun is finished" email this morning and have a final payment check in the mail. Depending on the speed of the USPS getting Karl his money and FedEx or UPS getting the gun back to me I'm guessing I'll see the gun Christmas week.

Anyone have preferences on posting info and photos? Put them here when I have the gun or start a new thread?

Both, of course.

Teaser pic sent by Karl. Is it possible that this is the same gun I sent him?

One of the right side.

Note the shortened slide stop axle. It had actually been flushed up with the side of the frame previously but I asked Karl to dimple it. Now it should be more easily pushed out using a cartridge, pen, etc.

Beautiful. I am a big fan of Karl’s work.

Love the HiPower specific Heinie. The only sight as nice is a Low mounted, deluxe cut Bomar on a 1911
