Springtime is for Commanders

[Greg Derr]

I bought this Colt Commander from an NES member as a base gun. This is the finished product.

Beautiful work.

Love my CLOACP. I was just thinking the other day that it was almost time to change over, lol.

Perfect gun.

Use a small diffuser on the highlight light. It distracts from the Colt.

I don't know...I see some residue or something in the "Commander Model" engraving on the ejection side...no way I can honestly give this anything over an 8/10.















You do some great work...I'd love to see some before and after shots when you post these.
Seriously...well done and I assume there are not very many that can do what you do.
Cheers,
Rick

Great way to start the weekend. With a new thread from Derr Precision.

As always, she is a beautiful piece. Makes me hate my EDC. It's fine and all, but my EDC is just a 365 and it just lacks character in comparison.

I guess NES is allowing p0rn shots on here now?

Beautiful work!

This is one of those age-old questions on NES: is there value in carrying an admirable gun, rather than just a functional one?

Some say no, others yes. I know the current trend is toward "carry what's lightweight and works, and damn the aesthetics..." but I've never been able to do that. Style definitely has a place, even at the cost of a few ounces, as long as it functions well.

Life's too short for ugly guns. Character always has a place.
