I don’t have much time as life and work have me completely bogged down (have been slammed for the last 8 months). That said, I wanted to share pics as this pistol is a really special one to me.
This is the first custom gun I ever ordered… literally this is the custom that got me into customs. A lot has changed over the years… however the look of this pistol (at least to me), is timeless. The fact that I only had to add a Chen magwell to it after many years only solidified this in my mind.
The Chambers Custom Black Knight Pinstriper takes two of Joes signature builds and puts them together…. And imo really displays the best of what Joe does.
I’ll quickly highlight some of its feature and some things that make it a bit different than most. It’s a tri top 38 super with 9mm switch barrel. The pistol features Chambers signature stipple work with Aztec cuts on the top, msh, and front strap. The stirrup cuts are somewhat angled to make the front look almost octagon like! You will see a flawless front sight blend with gold front line, and a non dovetailed buried and protected rear sight that sits perfectly atop the rear of the slide.
Nitre blued small pins and all the blending you would expect make this 1911 looks like one continuous piece of beauty. The internals of the gun are represented in a way that you would expect of a custom gun of this quality…
I would be remiss not to mention the enhanced cocking serrations that look perfect with this style of pistol… oh, and the pinstripes… maybe not for everybody, but it’s hard to say they don’t look perfectly elegant on this 1911! In the words of a forum buddy of mine: “Chambers builds one of the most custom feeling guns I’ve handled”. I would certainly agree with that statement! Bravo Joe.
I got her out to the range and shot about 200 rounds of 9mm. Because of the way the barrel is fit, the spring rates Joe uses, and the additional weight of his guns, this 9mm shoots so so soft and extremely flat.
As most people here know, I could go on and on, but I figure I’ll let the pictures do the talking!
Enjoy!
