The magazine is a 7 round from Wolff and I also have a Cobra Mag for It.
I shoots good , I shot 200 rounds thru it with no problems.
Took it apart and sent it to hard chrome and got it back yesterday.
I will shoot it this weekend and will post a range report.
I took the photos today right before it got dark I will try to get some better pic's this weekend also.

Carlos,
May I ask.....how does one polish like that?
Inside of the trigger guard and all?
May I also ask, how long did the polishing take?
The engraving on the slide is also exceptionally well done.
Is this for you or a most fortunate customer?
Wow! I'm full of questions!

That's a hell of a shine... you'd almost have to hard chrome it, otherwise it would scratch just by looking at it!
Thankyou Gents for all your nice comments

To polish the flats I use emery and automotive sandpaper from 400 grit up to 2000.
I tape the sandpaper to aluminum sanding blocks I made, 1/2" or 3/8 thick 1 1/2 wide and 5 or 6 inches long.
I use wd 40 as a lubricant to remove filings and clean the sandpaper, it is messy.
Yes my forearms look like popeye after all that polishing.
For the curved areas of the receiver I remove all rough spots with 320 or 400 emery. For the polshing I use Brownells 555 with a dremmel and a 3/4 dia felt wheel. I use all three 555 compounds, course medium and fine.
Final polish is done with simichrome.
I think I have about 20 to 30 hours on the polishing job, I work part time and it took me almost a week, I spent a whole weekend finishing it.
The engraving was done at a local machine shop with a 3/64 ball end mill.
This one I made for me , I bought the frame to fit my triggers to the Baer frames as they run about .900 on the height of the trigger track.
I will keep this one to show at gun shows.
I call this my All American Pistol
Regards

Like others have said, that is quite a shine. 30 hours of polishing has a great pay off. Looks awesome. Just curious, do you prefer your personal guns without high grip beavertails as I noticed you did not to include one on this beauty. Looks very nice, thanks for showing us..........

That's beautiful.
The attention to detail, including the engine-turning on the hammer and sides of the trigger, and polishing of trigger face, is really something, as is the overall polish.
You can use it for a mirror, I'll bet!
Really nice. I'd love to have one like that.
And where did you get that little bitty rifle?

Hi Denny I will start on yours soon and will post some pic's
TGR Thanks for your comments, I wanted a classic 1911 without a beavertail , The tangs on the Baer are beautiful , I do have a couple with beavertails.
Chuck I forgot to tell you I polish the flats last
The little rifle is a pen I got at the Alamo in San Antonio Tx last year
