Those of you that are considering the artistry of a custom pistol craftsman, need look no further than Dane Burns. He built a custom Kimber Compact for my wife that, in her words, fits her like a glove, and her results prove it. The custom metal work is incredible and most importantly it ALWAYS works with whatever it is fed. Add to that, Dane just worked on a Springfield TRP for me. Nothing sexy, just a trigger job. Well, hardly just a trigger job...this pistol started out with a 8lb factory pull (yes, not a type...8lbs) and now breaks like silk on glass at 4lbs. This really changed this pistol from being one that I like to one that I love. Turn around time was unbelievable (5 days) and you can't find that type of quality for the price anywhere. I can't recommend Dane enough. If you aren't familiar with him, you can find him at http://www.burnscustom.com

Lefty has been persistant here but we are not suppose to dbl post on any two topic lines. I have deleted this thread twice. Hopefully one or the other will die a slow death.

I do appreciate the compliments guys but there are other good smiths here too. Ask around on prices and delivery times. Any number of us can help you out I suspect.

No problem Bro :grin: It is my job!

But with threads that start with "My thoughts on Dane Burns" that is kind of scary. There are a few out there in cyber land that might not be as kind as this forum is.

No harm, no foul :grin:
