Great video! One of the easiest to follow and understand. Thanks.

How do I make sure I order the right trigger size from you all for my Cobra Build?

I love that everything is done by hand. Even the slide work was done by hand. To have that level of confidence in your skill takes years to master.

Great informations Thanks a lot from Italy 🎉

Need my Rock Island upgraded. 💪

Insane work! Piece of art ! Greats from France 🇫🇷🇫🇷

Just stumbled across one of your grandfather long slide 38. Really tempted to pick it up!

May I know please what do you call that finished that seems "GOLD"?

great video.....lighting good, camera good, great information in a clear concise way. (many youtubes have 5 mins of information in a 30 minute presentation.) good job!

Gives you a great appreciation for why these guns cost so much. Beautiful work!

The fact that the best custom 1911 builders have a TH-cam channel where they explain their entire process for free is pretty amazing.

Ditch the music. It’s distracting

Whats the shipping time on the 1911 these days?

could you make me a custom slide for my atlas titan rds?

Respect!

If you didnt have a mill would you remove material the same way you did the final thousandth?

Turn that music off lord a mercy

Will your cobra fit the Cheely Stainless Steel Grip? . Eventually want to have a steel grip

Im so happy you give us the 2 payment option . Makes your 2011s more possible to own . Im scraping up enough to order a Cobra .

much better without the music

as a gunsmith who ownes 2 shops i have built a few custom.....still get nervous EVERY TIME ...lol.. you sir make it look like a walk in the park! excellent workmanship on your part !

Wow!!! Sir i live in london. But im from the philippines 🇵🇭 if i want to order gun is it possible to buy one ?

I shoot uspsa. This is my first season with a 2011 (switch from canik.) I have the staccato xl limited edition with the island barrel. Should i go aluminum or steel to help with balance? Having a hard time getting my scores back to what i could do with the light canik. So far, i am not impressed with the 2011 thing, but want to give it a fair shake. The wife got it for me as a gift, so i am really trying to make it work.

The Cobra is astonishingly good. My most favorite shooter. I pick it up and it screams confidence and accuracy. The pistol is something special.

Absolutely incredible craftsmanship. That rose gold/damascus is too damn sexy. Will definitely be going with a black/rose gold island ported barrel build next year at some point.

Thank you so much for making this. I've been struggling to make mechanical sense of why 1911s are so touchy compared to other guns for dry fire. It makes much more sense that the humans with super strong opinions on this topic are the touchy ones.

Absolutely beautiful! Top of the totem pole!

Forgot to mention, the young folk might not know it’s all about the lockup. Thanks again

I talked to you on the phone, you might remember I complimented you on your front slide and frame beveling and was hoping you would build me a 4.6 with Atlas parts ( still hoping for that by the way ), going to sell my Atlas and go Hayes, venom looks interesting though, but a bit to much and don’t really want a spyder on my firearm, I used all those jigs back in the colt days, I going to call you again and see if you will build me a 4.6 island. Impeccable work, thanks Pete

Another video with something learned, thank you!

I was looking at a used Clark custom oh well no just kidding that's a great story like hearing those kind of stories !

I really wana just come hangout eventually u are awesome

Can we get a cobra build tour of the shop sometime? Picking up my first 2011, a cobra from TAG!

Glad to see You carry on the Family Tradition. I can say I was shooting 1911's before Glock was a thing! Clark to me, is noted as a Fine custom gun and sought after! Thank You Mr.Hayes

I would absolutely love to do something like this as I have a little ocd problem that works to my advantage most of the time. Great job.

Oooo how I hate imperial. Why don’t you go metric like the whole world

How many beans 🫘 would a Damascus slide 1911/2011 build be? I'm sure that's probably $10,000-$15,000? I'm just now getting into the custom builds and watching all these videos, I will have one some day. I just bought a Staccato P a week ago and I'm as happy as can be with this but I know this is probably about like a taurus compared to the custom stuff 😆🤦‍♂️. That is one beautiful peice for sure and someone is a very lucky guy or gal to have that in their collection. Good job on that one 👏 👍 👌

These videos are so cool. Thanks for sharing Ben!

I think videos like this are awesome. I’d love to come do some work for afew days you can pay me in rangetime lol 😂

Great info from the old days.

Very nice job!!! 😎

Thanks for the knowledge drop, these are interesting to see. Continued success sir. 👍🏻
