Nope, no carry cuts... I like it the way it is.

Sights are in.
I've got a bunch of springs to play with too, so I should be able to dial it in nicely.

Between me and Jason shooting, the sights look to be pretty spot on for a top of sight line (#2) hold. Ejection is strong and 3-4 o'clock with a 20# GM spring cut down to fit, and cycling is perfect with slide lock after last shot.
Need to get the finish sanding done and get her plated.

Plating company was a pain to deal with, and wouldn't guarantee the finish would even turn out, so I've got them with Luc for Parkerizing of the slides/frames/extractors, and will probably leave the gamer gun parked. The carry gun will likely get some sort of coating over the park, but it makes an excellent substrate for that anyway.
Ready for park and passivation (stainless parts).

I wish, but it does kinda look like a family with the government, commander, and officers slides there. That's the wife's officers 9mm that I refinished the slide on today while I was blasting things. Luc (hoel6466) did a major kindness and got the twins parkerized tonight. So now it's a matter of seeing when Consummate can get them coated and I'll be done!

Congrats. That is so cool that you can do that yourself.
Have you considered HC? The dude from Metaloy is on the other sight.

Metaloy wants like 400 to do a gun - I can buy another gun for that.

Wow. Even Robar doesn't charge that much

Still need to blast the hammer, and polish out the filing marks on the bushing and reverse plug. I've been carrying it 3 days now, and I'm very pleased with the results.
