Dropped off CM9 for Custom Work!

[itsthelaw]

Just dropped off one of my CM9s for dehorn, matte black coating, and install of BIG dots. This will be the longest 3-4 weeks of my life! :D

Sweet! cant wait to see the pics! How much was it to get the dovetail cut in the front for the big dots?

[itsthelaw]

I don't recall the cost for the dovetail and the info is at home. I just know that I can have all the work done and it will cost less than the PM9 with factory night sights. I will post pics when it is done. If I like it, I will probably do the other CM9, but with a few variations.

Did you move PYRO?

[Frayed Knot]

I can't wait to see how this turns out. I've been thinking along the same lines.

[thinktwice]

itsthelaw where are you having the work done? I would like to have mine done in the matte black also, along with the sights installed.

[itsthelaw]

It is a local guy in western NC named Phil Flack. I will post pics after it is done, and you can judge the work. I have heard good things.

He looks to be very competent. It's good to know about another competent gunsmith and customizer in the moutains! :D I am enjoying my relationship with David Belisle at Appalachian Gunsmithing in Weaverville. Close to 30 years experience and a good reputation. Does it on the side, enjoys it like a hobby while maintaining a full time job. Has one assistant and a turnaround time of about 4-6 weeks. No overhead, so his prices are very good. He is the person who did the stunning trigger job on my J-frame, getting the DA trigger pull down to 4.25 lb with positive primer strikes that make it go BANG every time!

I wish they would just get the pinned big dots out already! Cant wait for the pics! (sorry.... im sure its killing you more than it is me! haha) If all goes well, I might send mine that way.... im soooo torn on what I actually want to do with it still... color, magnaport, slide melt.... idk... so many options!!!

Ummm... no move (was that cause i didnt respond?)

[itsthelaw]

Pyro...I thought you were in the Winston area. I was wrong.

[PYROhafe]

Do a yellowpages.com search. I found a great one in my area. The gun shops will not help you find one. They want to keep them a secret so they can charge you double what the smith charges them for any gunsmith work.

[itsthelaw]

Dang...still waiting. They had a gunsmith leave after 20 years, so they are backlogged. I am less concerned over the time than I am that they will hurry through it. I called today and they could not even tell me when they will get to it.

[Frayed Knot]

How'd this turn out? I hope you're not still waiting.

[itsthelaw]

Still waiting... To be fair, I told the gunsmith I was not in a hurry and to work on others first.

[CJB]

pictures....pictures!

And make 'em good 'n sexy too!

[MDH65]

So whats the update?

[itsthelaw]

Gunsmith said I am on the bench and he is waiting for the new XS screw in sights. Should have them on Friday. Getting closer now.

[PYROhafe]

were gonna match! haha Im actually getting ready to send mine off for the dehorn and the black coating, then ill be adding some big dots when I get it back.

[jokester]

Waiting for pics also and if i like i will probably do the same. LOVE MY CM 9
