Thanks for the positive responses!! I took the E.E. to the range last Friday and put ~100 rds through. I really like the Heine straight 8 set up. Really fast sight acquisition. Ed Brown guns feel so amazing and smooth. I am definately addicted now. The jeweled barrel hood was unmarked after the session-perfect. I made sure there was a light coat of oil on the outside of the barrel.

JD as I said I got a SS Wilson CQBE 9mm from George. I had Allan order me some blanks and yesterday I went to his house and had him fit 2 sets to my Wilsons. One with new speed chute and one with the old. What a great guy he is and his work was great to watch.
Thanks for posting that gun and another member on the Wilson site saying that George had a new gun on his site. Allan said you have the same problem that I have and that is a great looking set of wood needs a good home.

AMAZING... My tastes tend to run to either extreme, fully blacked out 1911 or a SS tricked out. This gun fills the bill for SS. I have a SS VBob (no Brown, YET) all factory for the moment. After seeing this, I know exactly what I want to do. Inspiring.

You will spend a life time enjoying this one.

btw - I don't see a lot of jeweled barrel hoods. I think they are the bomb and can't wait to get mine done. One question though, how well do they last given some amount of wear?
