So I started a new project a few days ago.

I am doing the one with the rail first. I will be finishing this off in 9mm. As a budget type build.

So far I fit the grip module. It took some some fine sanding to fit properly

Next I fit the trigger. Honestly this fusion firearms trigger just dropped right in no fitting required, this is a first for me I always have to file triggers to get proper fit in 1911’s

Next I built the mainspring. Placed the plunger, spring, cap and pin. Would not have been able to do it with out this great tool

Next step I fitted the ambi safety. This is a requirement for me being left handed. I hand file to fit this safety. Took about an hour to get a good fit.

This is it fit to the pistol

This is only the start. I am waiting on my pins and rest of my springs to come in so I can get at least the lower half done. I will be doing a part 2 and maybe a part 3 to this post
