I have looked at these pictures a hundred times and it keeps getting better. Its as close to perfect as any I have seen. It is definetly an understated beauty.

Very nice gun! The more I look at the stippling, the more I like it, especially on the MSH and recoil spring plug. I'd swap the triggerguard work for some type of texture on the back of the slide, myself. I'm at the point of thinking I like your stippling better than than checkering on my "someday" gun. That stippling and the dark light-eating finish compliment each other very well.

That is one nice 1911. Simple and elegant. The stippling is some of the best that I've seen on a 1911. Great work, Randy!

I too am not a fan of stippling. But I could be after viewing that pistol. It is without doubt the best and most uniform stippling I have seen yet. Great job and a beautiful pistol.

Elegant Simplicity.

That is probably the best stipling job I've seen on a custom pistol. Very impressive. I also like how that Schuemann barrel just shines.

So pretty
