This one is a Freedom Wolf in 9mm
Gen4 slide by Zaffiri
Gen5 barrel by Zaffiri
RSA Gen5 from LW
LPK a mix of LW and Tyrant
LW trigger housing and bar with a Serpico shoe
UPK Glock OME with a Rook smooth operator safety plunger
Tyrant back plate
Suppressor height sights, steel not aluminum (not sure on brand, my Tyrant sights would not fit with the SwampFox red dot)

This is something new for my builds (TRIGER CUT) Wolf Paw
Another new cut for me in the Glock Knuckle cut.

Double undercut with a narrowed front finger groove on trigger guard

It is hard to see but I put in a relief cut for your index finger that goes all the way into the trigger. If you have large hands with short fingers believe me, this feels great.

I increased the radius on the magwell to reduce that GOD AWEFULL stock one.
There is not much you can do with the stock magwell because of the way it fits but with the trigger under cuts and the adding of a bigger radius on the magwell it does fit my large had like a tight glove, this helps with dealing with recoil and getting back on target faster. (No slipping in hand)

I all so filled in the back of the magwell so you get a smooth solid look and feel with it being molded in and don't have to look at those seams and pins with the stock look.
The stippling is a two tone, one giving the look of fur or armor that wraps around the back and joins the Wolf on the other side.
The second type of stippling is just a random small tip.

I like these Freedom Wolf frames; they have plenty of plastic for carving into whatever your custom build needs.
 
That definitely finished-out above parr. Excellent work, I knew this was going to be a beautiful piece at the end of the road, but it really came all together correctly in every aspect!
 
Are ya gonna shoot it? :)
I shot about 40 rounds before I did the custom work and yes, I will do some more shooting with it to test out the new parts.
This time of year, it's hard to find time until after Christmas
 
FTQ+++ That’s one of my favs of your art. What paint did u use. Has a beautiful sheen to it.❤️❤️❤️
Also an interesting display. Is that all 3d printed
I would say yes, it is
a gift from a friend :cool:
 
What about the paint ? What’s the type of paint on there ?
Yep, forgot about that :eek:
I use KG GunKote
First, I did a coat of dull brass (looks like antic gold to me)
Then I did a coat of Black Chrome
my plan was to use gold as a base coat and brush, but it didn't turn out as I wanted, so I just left the Black Chrome and added gold with a felt bob like a roller to cover the areas I wanted a dab of gold to show.

I mix all paint with 180 additives to reduce cure temps to 200-225 for 2 hours. On most builds I like to finish with a clear coat but this time I didn't because I did not want the Black Chrome to look satin or flat. I have a clear pearl, but I haven't tested it out yet to see how it effects colors. Maybe next build.
 
I like Black Chrome color. I have used it three times now and would like to do a build in Black Chrome with sliver or high polished bling.
Black Chrome has a silver speckle in it that gos well with silver or gold.
 
I forgot to mention about back strap on the grip, the seam that shows when you install the hump or no-hump, back strap. I was able to blend it all into the stippling and there are no seams showing. Makes this build have a solid look and feel.

The stand is one of Michele 3d printed.
The part for hanging a pistol from the barrel was something I made from magazine loader, with a bent piece of 1/4 round held on with JB Weld then painted.
 
The "paw" cut-out in the trigger guard is a really nice touch.

The magazine loader still works for loading too, I have a bunch of this type of loader I got free from buying something a while back. I needed to show pistols hanging to show off the custom work I do, and this seemed like the easiest way to go. I can take it off, so the stand still works as designed. I had some 1/8 rubber ends kicking around so I split them on one side so I could glue them on the 1/4 round to keep from scratching my barrels. With a little rattle can flat black paint, it works fine and not to homemade looking.
