Hi, Guys !!!

My partner in the office has just received his COLT, customized by Master Flavio Duprat:

Duprat is one of the lasts gunsmiths that works totaly by hand (not using machines, I mean).

These are some "not so good" pictures, but you can have an idea:

Please, post your opinions...

That would be my ideal carry gun! Very Nice!

Looks like:

Ambi extended Safety with thumb guard, Front slide serrations, Extended mag release, Beavertail grip safety, Lightened trigger, Enlarged ejection port, Enlarged mag well, Extended/Redesigned slide release, Checkering at front and rear areas as well as the hammer, Target sights, Plus nicely polished and finished stainless steel...

Am I partly correct? What are the non visible additions/features?

The only thing I'd change would be the grips, I'd add checkered Carbon Fiber.

Is that a Wilson mag in it?

Very cool piece... I'd love to have one just like it!!! :D
 
Hi Nismo and OWL,

Everything OWL said, plus Wilson Combat match Barrel with bushing; one piece guide rod; custon link and sear from Wilson Combat; one piece mainspring housing and mag guide from Smith Alexander, Springs by Wolff, Sightas are Bo-Mar (front and rear - with tritium); bullet proof extractor and firing pin, extended ejector...
The big show is the serrations work... You can notice the serrrations on the beavertaill, the same as the mainspring housing, and at the back of the slide as well as in the hammer...

The ami- safety and the slide release are Wilson's either, and were modified and got serrations, too...

I'm in a hurry right know, but I'll make a full list of modifications some other time...

Glad you like it,

Regards,
