This was a fun build for me, adding bone grips is a new challenge for me.
I found it hard to balance the look as well as the feel of the long slide which made the built front heavy. The oversize bone grip helped balance the eye flow.

Pictures do not show off the creamy green with pearl flakes, but this color does pop with the glossy bone grip.

Had to show off the top of the slide, it really makes that high polished barrel pop.
 
The barrel and slide are between 1.25 and 1.5 inch I never did measure it.
 
Umm, I think he was asking about length, not girth. . . ;)
That is what I meant, 1.25 to 1.5 longer than a regular 17 barrel.
I'll go check after dinner and get the exact size.
 
Are those gold or copper barrels?
Long barrel in the one in 17long and is polished gold.
The 17 barrel is polished copper. A real stunner, I think.
The copper is my next build. I still need some more parts, but I think I have a color scheme planed out. I'm thinking a metallic green brushed with a flat black under coat. With a lot of bright copper bling.

Yeah.. I'll eventually be looking for copper bits for my "Rebel Yell" PF45 / G20 build.

Nice, I just have the copper barrel now. I bought some metallic copper from KG Gunkote that matches really well, so I'll paint the bling I use.
 
changed out the Glock Performance Trigger shoe with a
Ranger Proof shoe "Long Ranger", Love the feel and looks.

I was hoping that the shoe would match better but it is a bazooka green. Next time i will call and see if I can get a raw shoe and paint it myself for a better match. One thing I noticed with Ranger Proof shoe is that it reduced travel with the Performance Trigger I used.
Feels like a great combo, I definitely will be using this setup on triggers in future builds.

So as of now this build is finished :cool:
 
Well done! I have been debating whether I want to do my own stippling. The color looks great with the bone grips.

Yeah,
I got better at stippling and now with the bone- walnut grip and stippling together is just a new style for me. Now that I have figured out how to remove enough polymer to offset the thickness of the grip insert, I have plans to use this style on some future builds.

I see you also dehorned the trigger guard and other hard edges. Also well done! Reminds me of the Sig SAS treatment. When they used to do that by hand, it was impressive.
