This one began life as a Springfield Mil-Spec. It's been tweaked and customized over the years. I lost track of the round count at around 15,000 and that was a decade ago...

I don't think I have seen those cuts on the bottom of a slide before. Deburring? Looks like a Brown 1 piece magwell.

It’s a Wilson Combat ULC Compact Commander with forward angle rear cocking serrations, no rollmarks and DLC finish on the slide and small parts.

Thanks. It was a couple months of experimenting on scrap slides to get it right. Still experimenting with it.
