I'm starting to get the itch to start the next build. Which one? All of them will be built. But which one first?

940CL ODG "Constitution" - planning for black hardware.

940V2 / G17L "Big Blue" (Titanium Blue) - planning for silver / stainless hardware. My idea here is no iron sights at all. Blanks / plugs in the slots for the sights. Optic only. Intended for range use only.

Or the 940C / G19 Cobalt "Celtic Knot" - also thinking silver hardware.

Stop tinkering around with these things. Get to building… what’s in Gods green earth is the hold up. Thought you’d be done with all of them by now. 😂

I knew this would get your attention! LOL!

I've been busy trying to ramp up this forum! 🤠

I've also been focusing on my shooting skills lately. Taking some private coaching. Got a group full day class next Saturday.

And I spent a lot of time tweaking and testing the PFC9 "EDC" build, putting 2,750 rounds through it so far.

Plus I have a "day job" and a family.

The first one. There is something to be said for understated elegance...

Big Blue is already designated as a 17L (9mm) with the slide and barrel you see. Already in my possession.

Excuses, excuses... just like a J.O. ;) Turn 2 L. T.
The Navy wouldn't get anywhere if it wasn't for the chiefs. :outta here:
 
My vote is for the 940CL ODG where do you get the slide from?

I've been too busy with RL things to catch up on "family photo" pics, etc. I've done the 940CL ODG "Constitution" with black hardware. Let me try to get a pic soon so you can better visualize it. I'm thinking I'd like to see you do the 940V2 / G17L "Big Blue" (Titanium Blue) only because I've seen the "Constitution" version already ;) Nothing against the "Celtic Knot" one but the "Big Blue" looks exotic!
 
I vote for the order in which you posted them. The O.D.Green 'C' We The People is simply ready now. Buuuuttt... That blue one, even I am itching to see done. And @Michele 's etched and polished slide on that 'C' will be adding the prize jewel into the crown -saving the sweetest for desert... ;)

Oh, really??! Had the same vision, eh?

Yep, here it is. Mixed the modern flag in a couple of times for good measure too. I normally don't post the S/N, but I got cute with it for this one so I figure why not. Also realized it is not the "Constitution" slide but the "Declaration of Independence" slide.

I need to clean up the rear by the backplate a bit. Had a brain fart while working with it and knicked it a little (don't ask!).
