Yost Retro-Build

All of us have seen some of Ted's master builds but when this modest "retro" build was made available to me it was a must have.

It's either a 52 or 53 Lightweight 39 super Commander that Ted built in 2019, the owner took it home and ran 1 magazine through it and tucked it away. 2 years later with other projects going he asked Ted to find a new owner.

No slide-top treatment, no 40 or 50 LPI checkering, no rear of slide artwork. Just a more refined version of what Colt was producing but with master-grade bluing and everything cleaned up and addressed.

I'm going to daily carry it if I can find some SD 38 super it really likes.

Personally, I had never seen this before, this little knocked down tab allows the spring to be rotated under it so you never have a flying projectile during a disassembly

The front site is also a masterpeice.

That’s beautiful - outright gorgeous!
Sure hope you can’t find ammo for it - OK, just a little so you can have fun at the range - but not enough for EDC. And find a velvet lined holster to protect that blue.
Good luck with it!!
