- Before and After Kimber 1911
As you can see from the before picture this Kimber's finish had seen better days. The rear of the frame and the back of the slide had been sanded on. I performed a little plastic surgery and cut the frame for a bobtail and finished the slide/barrel in matte black and the frame/controls in dark park gray.

- Chamfered Cylinders
A 45 degree bevel is cut into the cylinder to facilitate fast, snag free re-loading, especially with speed loader. Notice that the extractor star has not been cut, this keeps empty casings from slipping under the star and not ejecting.
